The problem is that's kind of subjective. Reagan, for example, was seen (ridiculously) by many poor whites as an underdog against elite special interests, but by his opponents as the candidate of capitalist excess. And there's definitely exceptions- McGovern was the hippie candidate, Carter was the candidate of the sticks, and Reagan's underdog image definitely didn't extend to George H.W. Bush even among his supporters.
