In my unofficial polling so far, I would say that cranky people are more likely to be voting for Trump.
For instance: last weekend, at a suburban mall.
We went to buy some food (Japanese) and I spoke to the people ordering behind us. They were: a cranky old white guy--(Not him, but it might have been him)

and a very soft-spoken Chinese-American grandmother--(Not her, but it might have been her.)
Cranky white guy (CWG)

Very soft-spoken Chinese-American Grandmother

As CWG stepped away, I said very softly to CAG that I could not support any of the Republicans this time, as they were all spouting hatred. Her eyes flicked to CAG and then she said, even more softly. "Yes. I know."

I said, "I can't. I can't vote for hate mongers. I have to caucus democratic." She winced, so I said, "I'll have to hold my nose and vote. Vote for the practical candidate. The one who I think can get elected, and who isn't spewing hate."
The woman sighed, and nodded. "Yeah," she said. I guess so. I'll have to drive further."
I never even mentioned my candidate's name. I didn't have to. She knew who I was talking about.
