To find out how many people above age 30 support the candidate, we need to sum the number of people who are "For" the candidate in the age groups that are above 30, which are "31–40" and "Over 40."

From the table:

  • For the age group 31–40: 30 people are for the candidate.
  • For the age group "Over 40": 25 people are for the candidate.

Now, we can add these numbers together:

30 (for 31–40) + 25 (for Over 40) = 55 people.

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