TRUMBULL COUNTY, Ohio - In the November general election, 51.2 percent of voters in Trumbull County voted for Donald Trump in a county, known for favoring democratic candidates at the ballot box.
Ratings are now tanking at 20 percent below what it's been for past presidents, according to a national Gallup poll.
21 News wanted to find out nearly six months after people elected Trump, are they having second thoughts?
At the Trumbull County Fair, voters gave their opinions on the candidate who promised to drain the swamp.
"I like that candidate Trump promised to renegotiate the North American Free Trade agreement with Mexico and Canada, so it will be fair trade. We are not asking for an unfair advantage, and on Monday plans will be revealed for making a modernized NAFTA more fair," said supporter Kenny Hagin. "If everybody kept their promises they made to the American voters, we'd get a whole lot done right now because we have a president who is holding their feet to the fire. I think Donald Trump, our president. is doing a very good job. I think it's time we put America first."
Others told 21 News they like that President Trump's administration has let generals do their job in Iraq and have pushed back terrorism and ISIS.
21 News asked people who voted for Trump about Russia and if possible election meddling or meetings bother them.
At least a dozen supporters at the fair say they want Congress to get on with fixing problems with our country.
"Right now they're talking about what Trump's son did and talking to the Russians and all that stuff. That's just wasting time on the television. Why don't they do something and act to fix problems instead of just arguing all the time? I think he's doing a good job," said another supporter. "The rest of this stuff, they're just picking on him because he makes his points in crude ways. He is not politically correct. He is not a politician."
Others say their 401-K's and business are doing better.
"I think the economy has picked up and he's doing a good job. Donald Trump is Donald Trump. He's a little arrogant, but I think he can do a good job," said Bill Davis, another supporter.
The verdict is that he's not a frog, but not a political prince either.
Supporters said they prefer Trump to the past president and past presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Most people admitted they crossed over from Democrat to request a Republican ballot last November to vote for Donald Trump.
Most explained that they didn't want to be labeled a bigot, racist, homophobe, Islamophobe or a woman hater.
Supporters believe if an election were held today, the same outcome would take place and Trump would win again.
All of the voters who said they voted for Donald Trump told us they would vote for Trump again.
People at the fair who voted for Hillary Rodham Clinton were still vehement that they don't like President Trump, while a few HRC supporters say Trump is our President, so they are hoping he succeeds.
President Trump is smart enough to do everything he can for Americans as he promised, too bad the same thing cannot be said for the sh*tsticks like Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnel, John McCain, and so many other RINOs.
God Bless the Bellwether State of Ohio!!!
Sharing this great new poll that I caught a couple days ago.

Fake News Polls produce Fake News Poll results.
>> too bad the same thing cannot be said for the ... RINOs
And too bad they’re never Primaried.
When I was a kid, I used to caddy at Trumbull County Country Club (as it was called then — and may still be called). Lots of good folk around that area. God bless them.
???
They have seperate ballots in Ohio - One to vote Republican and one to Vote Democrat? Do they have special ballots for 3rd party candidates?
I bet not one of these people have been polled by a national polling company.
im outside of Detroit...i swear, the last 3 months, all i see is help wanted signs everywhere....strip malls that sat vacant the last 10 years are filling up like crazy...new buildings, hotels going up...kinda unreal. Trumps gonna get his 3-5% growth...i just feel it. He does that, he waltzes to a second term.
Thanks for sharing such great news and observations from your area.
Hopefully, President Trump’s magic touch will somehow resurrect another blighted urban disaster zone known as Baltimore, Maryland, which is about 40 miles down the road from me. Baltimore was once affectionately referred to as “Charm City,” but sadly now is practically another Chicago with record-setting murder rate and myriad maelstroms.
Like you, I pray that our awesome President enjoys two successful terms, celebrating as he MAGA!!!
2.5% growth now would feel like 3.5% in the immigration-fueled explosion of the labor market of the Bush or Obama years, or 4% in the era of mothers entering the workforce during the 60s, 70s and 80s, or 5% during the Clinton years, when both effects were being felt.
So will Trump achieve 4-5% growth: No. Maybe 3%. But even at 2.5%, workers will be doing much, much better than they have since the Gingrich or Reagan years.
this too...in Livonia, few miles from Detroit, they tore down the old D.R.C horse track in 2002 to open a huge industrial park...well, it sat empty until this spring...there must be 5 huge cranes building warehouses there now..the place is huge...someone was waiting for the right conditions to exist to finally get this going. Its like someone flipped a switch..gee, wonder what happened in the last 6 months ??...lol..
Whew!!!
I saw Trumbull and I thought Trumbull Connecticut and figured that, if true, we have come a lot further than anyone (including ourselves) has let on.

I LOVE THIS OUTFIT!! WFMJ.
Three things in this article tell me that the ABJECT CORRUPTION of the Mainstream Media has not infected them.
1) First, the obvious - that they ran a pro-Trump story.
2) Then this: “Most people admitted they crossed over from Democrat to request a Republican ballot last November to vote for Donald Trump.”
This could not have happened, as no one had to “request a Republican ballot” to vote for Trump last November, since it’s supposedly a secret ballot. But that was true, in many states, for the Primary. The fact that the reporter didn’t know this is a GOOD SIGN, tell me that she doesn’t eat, sleep, and drink politics. Reporters shouldn’t be doing that - they should simply be ...reporting, and no more.
3) “People at the fair who voted for Hillary Rodham Clinton...”
Hillary gave DIRECT ORDERS to the media to call her “Hillary Clinton”, not “Hillary Rodman Clinton”, when it came time for her to run for president - since she was trying to get at least some votes from working-class men. EVERY media outlet complied...but in this case, for these guys, this DIRECT ORDER never made it them. They’re still reporting by their own own rules.
I know it won’t happen, but reporters like Janet Rogers here, and others of her kind - NON-CORRUPTED reporters, reporters who do not want to ‘change the world’ are the ones that should be INVITED TO THE WHITE HOUSE - while, simultaneously kicking out CNN, NYT, and the others.
It might be true in Trumbull, Connecticut. Who knows?
“They have seperate ballots in Ohio - One to vote Republican and one to Vote Democrat? Do they have special ballots for 3rd party candidates? “
I mention just above that THIS IS A GOOD SIGN...because the reporter confused the Primary with the general election. That tells me that she does not eat, drink, and smoke politics 24/7 - that’s EXACTLY what we need in reporters - people that don’t live it, but just try to report it, even if it means being confused, and getting something (innocently) wrong, once in a while.
