GinnyAnswer
To determine how many people above age 30 are for the candidate, we need to consider the two relevant age groups from the table: the "31-40" and "Over 40" categories.

Here is the process broken down step by step:

1. Identify the number of people "for" the candidate in the "31-40" age group:
- From the table, the number of people "for" the candidate in the "31-40" age group is 30.

2. Identify the number of people "for" the candidate in the "Over 40" age group:
- From the table, the number of people "for" the candidate in the "Over 40" age group is 25.

3. Add the numbers obtained from the two relevant age groups to get the total number of people above age 30 who are "for" the candidate:
- Number of people "for" in the "31-40" age group: 30
- Number of people "for" in the "Over 40" age group: 25

4. Calculate the total:
- Total number of people "for" the candidate above age 30 = 30 + 25 = 55

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

So, the correct answer is:
