I saw your post and the other response to you, and more out of curiosity than anything else decided to look it up.

Surprisingly, it took a lot more digging than I thought to find something that wasn't obviously biased that showed wealth demographics. One that I found that I think is a fairly objective source was:

Looking at the voter turnout by income chart about halfway down, it does lend credence to your claim that the lowest income brackets did vote for Hillary more so than Trump.

Going further down to voter turnout by community type, it also lends credence to the other person who responded claim about rural America.

Considering both charts together, it would seem a reasonable conclusion would be that the poor of urban America was much more supportive of Hillary Clinton's run than the poor of rural America who it appears was much more supportive of Trump.
