Yep. For a lengthy but informative explanation of exactly why these people are supporting Trump (more specifically, how the Democrats lost them), see The New Yorker article I posted a few days ago.
Also, Hillbilly Elegy by JD Vance seems to be among the most cited references among those analyzing the socioeconomic malaise of the WWC (Haven't had a chance to read it yet myself). Interesting interview with Vance here.

If Hillary and her team are really smart, and she manages to win, first thing she should do is go on a kind of 'reconciliation tour', go to these places in the rust belt and the deep south and talk to these folks, try to connect with them a bit. Not a very Hillary thing to do, but it would be at least some small amelioration.
