Regarding income, this guy is looking at absolute numbers and saying that rich people favoured the Republican and poor people favoured the Democrat.
But as has been pointed out before, while Clinton might have scraped home in the poorest income categories, they were also the categories that showed the biggest swing away from Obama's 2012 numbers. A 16% swing in the <$30,000 category.
Elections are won and lost in the swing.
