Stephen A Smith is a fucktard. 

Poorer people generally vote Democrat, regardless of race.
That is true.

But do poor people vote Democrat based on an informed opinion, or do they vote Democrat because they feel that they're supposed to vote Democratic because they're poor, and that's what poor people are "supposed" to do?

I'd argue a lot of people vote without having too much of an informed opinion, regardless of race or income level. If you lean liberal on most issues, you can make a guess that voting for the person running as a Democrat would be in your best interests. I'll admit to doing this the first time I did vote. Since then I've done my best to be informed on the issues and where the candidates stood on them.
Do you think that blindly voting for one party over the other, without taking the time or interest to be informed about the issues, is usually going to be in one's best interests?

No. But if you're not going to work to be informed on where the candidates stand on the issues, there's probably an obvious choice for you based on the very limited information you have.

According to Rick Santorum, not voting Republican is the informed choice:

Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, told the audience at the Omni Shoreham hotel. “We will never have the elite, smart people on our side.”

Ha. I also don't think its surprising that it's a rich, black man telling black people to consider voting republican. I don't know why that didn't pop up in my head in the first place.
