I used to think it was because poor people are socially conservative and economically liberal. But according to Gallup, not many people are like that.

However, a lot of people are poor because they are convicted of serious crime. Many of them cannot vote but I think this would only explain about 5% of the total population. (or about 10% of the population where the laws target these people)

Maybe a more well funded version of Gary Johnson or a Left-Wing Religious Right alternative (a modern W J Bryan) would get some of these votes.
