The last map perfectly shows what's so depressing about US politics (poor people voting massively for a party dedicated to serve the interests of the wealthier).
However, it is generally the wealthy voters in each state which vote more Republican--it's just that poor people in, say, Kentucky, are more Republican than poor people in Connecticut.
Considering the GOP's ideology, them attracting more than 10% of the poor is already pretty shocking.
Not really.
It is, if you assume voters would vote at least somewhat rationally.
You're assuming that economics is the only rational basis for casting a vote.
Well, it should be.
