Which Political Party Helps People More?

There was a recent poll conducted that found that people are split about which party helps people the most. In past years it was always the Democratic Party. I really can't explain how it would ever be close. Which party created, supports and seeks to strengthen Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Which party seeks to provide affordable health care and lower prescription drug costs? Which party seeks to increase the minimum wage from the disgraceful $7.25 an hour that it is today? But I must apologize. This is a partial list and I have many more examples of why this recent poll is so puzzling to me. I challenge anyone to give me one example of the Republican Party supporting a policy or program that helps the poor and middle class. Please! I need to know.
