Poor people showed up to vote

I saw msnbc exit poll earlier. I cannot find it, or I'd post a link to it. People who make 30k or less made up about 20% of the vote, and I believe Obama got like 68% of them. Maybe the republicans should think about before trying to kill medicare,medicaid,social security food stamps, and the minimum wage. People make less then 30k were Obama's most valuable economic voting block. Not only being the second highest sample of the election only behind people who make less than 50k who were 21% of the vote, but they crushed the republicans with their vote margin.
