Thanks. The issue with median income is that pensioners are generally asset rich: 79% own their own homes outright, but are usually classed amongst the income-poor on a median scale. They represent 18% of the population and presented a high Brexit turnout of over 80%. Of all age groups it was only they who voted in seriously large numbers for Brexit. So yea if you include Tory pensioners amongst the poor you could say the "poor" mainly voted for Brexit.
