Poor people don't see Republicans as the ones who will look after them. You have that backward. In the last election, 53% of those who made less than $50K per year voted Democrat as opposed to 40% of them who voted Republican.
Here is also an article from Pew Research that shows that poor people tend to not vote at all, but those who do tend to vote Democrat.
