I've noticed that typically poor men are not very left leaning compared to women. For a man it's somehow incredibly difficult to vote for some member of "intelligentsia" who is very condescending towards you. If men go left, they usually go radical "taking back what is rightfully ours". If you fall short of that, it's lot better to lure in poor men by promising more jobs. And they have noticed how economic growth seems to correlate with jobs. Who talks about GDP? Is he condescending? Paying less taxes and this dude makes this GDP thing go nicely and then I get better paying job? Sounds good.
For women it's more like "oh the government is helping me to take care of the kids". It matters less if the politician is condescending, as you are kind of funneling that to your kids.
