While the democratic party definitely embodies liberal elitism in some ways, this shows that the commonly claimed “poor people vote Trump” really isn’t true.
Rich and Poor people seem to prefer Harris by a small margin, while middle class seems to support Trump.
I think it’s more that a lot of people on < 30k tend to rely on welfare programs, disability benefits, social security etc. which democrats generally want to expand while republicans want to cut. Not that they don’t suffer from inflation, in fact they are the group that suffers the most proportionally.
