My guess is the majority of them would like to have a "hand up and not a hand out" as I've heard said before...

A lot of people currently on food stamps and the like only became eligible for such after their jobs were off shored or were taken by H-1B's.
Trump promises to reverse that trend. The "47 percenters" who believe him will no doubt vote for him. Ditto still others who fear that their jobs will be off shored in the coming years.
Sanders too is appealing to that same demographic and he's steadily gaining on Hillary.
This is going to be an interesting election season to be sure.
