When he first came (grabbed) power - the Middle Classes actually liked him a bit because he helped reverse the horrific condition the Treaty of Versailles left them in. Add that to the worldwide Depression and you have a lot of desperate people. They would've taken the devil himself (well, they actually did, it just wasn't apparent at first how evil he really was.)
As you neglected to remove the Number "3" at the beginning of your question - this is obviously homework. You will either have to find your own website (there are thousands) or perhaps, refer to your textbook, notes or 'phone a friend for additional "help."

You will need to search out your own source however as starting point (and this is from people who were there) one of the primary causes was the total stripping of German industry after WWI. This created economic stresses leading to a severe depression.
The German middle class had lost everything and now was ripe to find an internal scapegoat. Hitler, in the early years not only promised but also produced. Witness the economic turnaround, rebuilding and following prosperity. If he had stopped there this might have been a different world today. As it were, his mental instability caused him to pursue a horrific and untenable course.

Because he was on the same wavelength as many of them.
Persecution of the jews was a well established habit of respectable European christians and Hitler took it a stage further and they were mostly happy with that.
His other great hatred was for Communists and they were feared by the middle classes.
