To find out how many people above the age of 30 are for the candidate, we need to sum the number of people in the age groups 31-40 and over 40 who are in favor of the candidate.

From the table:

  • In the age group 31-40, the number of people for the candidate is 30.
  • In the age group over 40, the number of people for the candidate is 25.

Adding these two numbers together:

30 (for 31-40) + 25 (for over 40) = 55

Therefore, the total number of people above the age of 30 who are for the candidate is 55.

The correct answer is 55.
