I'll concur with another datapoint, but in an affulent Michigan county semi-recently turned blue.

For a congressional district that encompasses of most of that county, the open primary last week ended up 61%-34% (Trump over Haley). But at the GOP state convention, where it was only GOP precinct delegates voting, it was 118-3 (aka 97.5% Trump). This pattern actually played out in all 13 CDs earning DT all 39 delegates available.

Our state convention is not until May 4 but expect similar results. My hubby is a sales rep and covers half the state. Says most of his territory the Trump signs never came down, and they are multiplying. Our county actually has 2 election boards - Kansas City and then Jackson County for the rest. KC is solid blue and eastern Jack is purplish red, but KC's overwhelming blue majority cancels Eastern Jack in nearly every election, even though Eastern Jack turnout is always higher (56% vs 38% in 2022)
