I don't think it's so much a question of Obama's appeal (or lack thereof) to poor whites, or that being a poor white increases the likelihood of voting Republican, but rather that some sociological characteristics correlated with poor whites (i.e. lack of education, lack of exposure to cultural diversity, rural) are also correlated with voting Republican. Although some of those factors can also be correlated with poor minorities, minorities have also other cultural factors that lead that lead them to vote Democratic.
