In this part of the US, people are rooting for Trump more than ever

Ruffs Dale, Pa. — Hunched over in his workshop, Leon Moyer slices through a board with a miter saw, its hum piercing the air. It’s the sound of business for Moyer, who has run a sign making company in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, since 1984.

A few feet away lies a stack of signs blaring “President Donald Trump” and a pile of bumper stickers bearing the legend “CNN Sucks.” Almost a year after America sent The Donald to the White House, Moyer is still selling pro-Trump signage. Homes and businesses all over this county, which is mostly registered Democrat, continue to declare their allegiance to the Republican outsider.

“Last year, when people were asking me to make [signs] for them, I was fairly surprised. Republican political signs really aren’t a big thing for me, and, well, this is a big Democrat area. The signs were everywhere, and everyone wanted one.”

So far, Moyer estimates he’s sold “thousands” of pro-Trump signs.

How many people ordered signs for Hillary?

“One. That would be one person. Which kind of surprised me given how Democratic this area is,” he said. Moyer said he had requests for oversized Trump signs, small ones, individualized ones: “You name it, people were asking for them.”

“They still ask for them,” he added. “Not much has changed in the sentiments here for Trump.”

That includes his own. Moyer, too, is a registered Democrat who voted for Trump — and yes, he is still optimistic about his presidency.....

MAGA, same here. (Mobile, Alabama)

I firmly believe the secret to President Trump’s continued electoral success is to focus on jobs in the predominantly Democrat areas he won in 2016.

I’m a little surprised at this article. Selena has been pretty truthful and fair with Trump in the past. This time she seems to regurgitate the false talking points a bit.

[Parley Baer]

The support for President Trump has not faltered.

[ThinkingBuddha]

The fake news media are getting desperate. For over a year, they have tried to separate Trump from his base, with no success. They still don’t understand the only Trump can separate his base from himself.

[mairdie]

Agreed. I felt confident it would be a fair article and when I took the link to read it all, was very disappointed and gave up. That’s the definition of click-bait for me. Hope, then disappointment.

I think Ryan and some of the other “road-blocks”, are going to get an education in 2018. I sure hope so.

[Fu-fu2]

Friends and family who voted for him are still supporting him. They voted for repeal of Obamacare, tax reform, border security, jobs, etc. They are disgusted with Congress. Especially OneVote. He ignored the will of the voters to carry out his personal vendetta against Trump and defeat a step towards repeal. Republicans in Congress should be supporting the president instead of following what the fake news tells them to do.

[Windflier]

Dang. I’m in Texas, and haven’t seen a single Trump support sign here. Sheesh...

[MarMema]

Redneck northern Michigan has an occasional liberal ..

Priuses, Suburus, coexist, gray ponytails, tatts, faded Bernies, street beggars, potholes, weeds in medians, lgbt crosswalks, rainbows on public walls, rinos as tokens.

I live in what used to be last Conservative Coastal bastion in CA, South Orange County. OC went for Hillary, gag.

The only Barometer I have is that my Car hasn’t been Keyed, yet.

I have TRUMP 45 Vanity License Plates. Also have a small NRA Sticker and a small “Peace through superior firepower” sticker on the Windshield.

This just confirms that 62 + million of us voted for the right man to be our president. The insane suicidal other choice is shown below!

[shanover]

The GOP is turning out to be the biggest resistance to MAGA. I despise them. I am back to being an Independent who has always firmly believed in Constitutionalism. The Constitution has all of the answers. I loathe the political party system.

[jmaroneps37]

I’m in Staten Island and we are strong Trump supporters even had Democrats for Trump group.

“What do things look like where you live?”

I am in Southern California, so I am in the belly of the beast of radical progressivism and anti Trumpism. Anyone who openly supports Trump around here is prone to verbal or physical attack or racist attacks from Hispanics.

[Angels27]

Sounds like my area. You must be in the Jerry Brown utopia of California.

Priuses, Suburus, coexist, gray ponytails, tatts, faded Bernies, street beggars, potholes, weeds in medians, lgbt crosswalks, rainbows on public walls, rinos as tokens.

And women with hyphenated last names. Never trust a woman (or a man) who has a hyphenated last name.

A new poll from NBC News/Marist showed that Trump’s job-approval rating here in Pennsylvania, as well as in Michigan and Wisconsin, the three key states that helped propel him to the White House, is below 40 percentage points.

But not approving of everything the president does doesn’t mean his voters have stopped supporting him.

It is important to note that nearly 100,000 voters in this state switched their party registration from Democratic to Republican in 2016.

Selena's fair and insightful on this part... She's taking on the lying pollsters in a very subtle but honest way...
