To find out how many people above age 30 are for the candidate, we need to look at the age groups that fall into that category and sum the values for "For" from the table.

From the table:

  • Age 31-40: 30 people are "For" the candidate.
  • Age Over 40: 25 people are "For" the candidate.

Now, we add these two numbers together:

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

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