To be fair, Dem voters indeed tend to be the lower-income earners, even among those with a college education (see chart linked, below). They really aren't all that intelligent or they'd be capable of earning more money.
Not only did Hillary win the bottom 2 income groups while Trump won the top 4 in 2016, but very similar results were noted in the 2012 election:

"An individual’s likelihood of being a Democrat decreases with every additional dollar he or she earns. Democrats have a huge advantage (63 percent) with voters earning less than $15,000 per year. This advantage carries forward for individuals earning up to $50,000 per year, and then turns in the Republicans’ favor — with just 36 percent of individuals earning more than $200,000 per year supporting Democrats."
