Financially, Republicans fare better than either Democrats or Independents, and tend to identify themselves as such. Republican candidates gain a significantly higher percentage of votes from individuals with incomes over $50,000 per year, and the advantage increases along with the income level, to a height of 63 percent of individuals earning $200,000 or more a year supporting Republicans. This level is the direct inverse of individuals earning less than $15,000 a year, who support Democrats at 63 percent and Republicans at only 36 percent.

Among many others.
What you're probably trying to dredge up is the dumb red state vs blue state talking point crap. In that case, the poor "backward ass white" southerners which you mention actually are primarily poor rural black southerners.
