So?

I voted Main Street...

Wall Street is now deep in Obama's pocket since the the financial bail-outs and K-Street panders just as much to the left as they do to the right...

As in "From where do more votes come?" Obviously Main Street.

Not just votes, also money and just general "support".

Maybe I should simplify the question...

When you think of the Republican party, the first thing that pops into your head is:

1) Fat cat Wall Street investment bankers who "summer" in Martha's Vineyard when they're not managing their hedge funds...
2) Lobbyists and think-tanks vying for Republican support on omnibus spending bills hoping to shore-up some more grants and tax braks for Blackwater and Halliburton.
3) Every day, average Americans scattered through-out small towns in the American South and Midwest

I don't get the point here if you aren't trying to quantify the support. Which group is most enthusiastic?

The poll is more so to gauge people's reaction, not to arrive at some conclusive answer.

You're still not answering what and how we're supposed to be measuring. Are you asking us which group we think of first when we're asked, "Which group is most enthusiastically supportive of the GOP?" Or maybe  just, "Which group do you think of once you think of the GOP?" If you're asking which group supports - as in volunteers  and votes - the party in the highest raw number, it's obviously Main Street.
