This will be a simple post compared to others on the thread, but I feel it needs saying.
There are a HUGE number of factors that go into the ultimate voting trend of a demographic or region. There are multiple types of "poor" people, from the traditionalist, 'American dream' economics type to the liberals striving against what they feel is an unjust system. Just like there are multiple types of poor, there are also multiple types of middle and upper class folks as well.
The Republican personality is both attracted to suburbs (and rural areas) and cultivated in suburbs. The type of person who leaves the city to buy a house in a suburb is more likely to be Republican and the person raised in a suburb is more likely to have Republican values.
