Answer 1

To determine how many people above age 30 are in favor of the candidate, we need to look at the relevant age groups in the table:

- For the age group **31-40**, the number of people for the candidate is **30**.
- For the age group **Over 40**, the number of people for the candidate is **25**.

Now we add these two groups together:

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

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

So the answer is **55**.
