I find that the opposite is true. Poor people tend to lean left. It’s just that conservatives don’t take care of their impoverished populations, so the whole area rots economically from the bottom up.
One example that hits particularly close to my home is how republicans are vehemently against raising the minimum wage. But they also can’t figure out why fast food joints and grocery stores around here can’t keep enough staff to stay open.
Nobody can afford to live on 7.25/hr anymore. But republicans here will never acknowledge that. So our economy suffers.
