To find how many people above age 30 are for the candidate, we need to sum the "For" votes for the age groups 31–40 and Over 40.

From the table, we have:

  • For the age group 31–40: 30 people
  • For the age group Over 40: 25 people

Now, we add these two numbers together:

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

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