To find out how many people above age 30 are for the candidate, we need to look at the age groups "31–40" and "Over 40" in the table and sum the number of people who are "For" the candidate in these age groups.

From the table:

  • For the 31–40 age group, the number of people "For" the candidate is 30.
  • For the Over 40 age group, the number of people "For" the candidate is 25.

Now we can add these two amounts together:

30 (age 31–40) + 25 (over 40) = 55

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