Poverty tends to bring on greater religiosity. Todays Republicans cater to the religious with political stands, sometimes extreme, that are bible based. The Republicans want a solid base of supporters and the fundamentalists will almost always choose a brother under the Christian flag. In short they are being used by others to gain power and so they vote against their own best interests.
