The New York Times published the results of a study of 11,000 interviews with voters who call themselves Republican-leaning (but may not all be Republicans – more on that below). They broke it down by congressional district to gauge the level of support for Donald Trump. The purpose of their study seems to be to show that places where people do racist web searches correlated nearly perfectly with places where Trump has his strongest support (really!). But let's ignore this wacko angle (unless we also want to see if Obama is most popular in places where blacks kill blacks) and see if we can get something useful from the data:
Apparently, Trump has a very strong amount of support in the Northeastern states, the South, and parts of the Midwest.

As others have pointed out this is for the primary. Unfortunately it’s hard to tell how this would translate to the general election.
Cruz is the first choice in Texas, as well as much of the upper Midwest...
Huckabee is the first choice in much of Arkansas at this point.
It looks like Carson still has some support in the West, but it has faded some.
The map probably understates Trump’s support. It looks like the data was collected over several months....Carson had quite a bit of strength in the West but that has faded to a large degree.
Some of the congressional districts in urban areas are hard to see, but it doesn’t look like anyone outside of Trump-Carson-Cruz-Huckabee has much support anywhere.
