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".

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 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.
