Polls show Mr. Trump does better with those who have lower education levels and incomes.

Coleman Lawrimore, chairman of the Newberry County Republican Party, says the groundswell of support for Mr. Trump has come as a surprise to him.

At a county GOP meeting a few weeks ago, Rep. Mick Mulvaney asked the assembled group, about 40 people, who they were planning to support in the primary. "Only two people admitted they were voting for Trump," Mr. Lawrimore says.

But later, Mr. Lawrimore talked to other people around the area and heard a different story. "There is a lot of support for Trump here," he says. "People are angry. The Republican Party has made promises for the last few cycles. They said, 'Just give us both houses of Congress.' Well, now they have both houses of Congress and nothing has changed."
