A lot of smart adults would say “most voters are stupid”. But not very many would say “most voters like me are particularly stupid”.
That entirely depends on what the category of “voters like me” is—the category that may lose their votes. Very old people, mentally ill people, low IQ people, illiterate people, people with drug addictions… Within such category, an exceptionally (for the category) smart person may well think most other people “like them” are particularly stupid.
