You’re forgetting the changes NOW going about.
Yes, surburbanites are going Left-wing, especially government employees, and Californians are leaving their states in droves. Califirnians have turned many states blue, such as CO and NV. Govt types in Virginia.
However, the Leftist have made a decision to support a league of various minorities and special groups and kick the working class whites to the curb.
Trump is the first to gather these voters up. More and more Republicans are seeing this.
Because of this, the red may grow in the Midwest AND Northeast as much as VA, NV, CO, WA, etc., have gone blue.
And that not my opinion, but others have said so:

Yes, surburbanites are going Left-wing, especially government employees, and Californians are leaving their states in droves. Califirnians have turned many states blue, such as CO and NV. Govt types in Virginia. Here are the 50 largest counties in America. There is a direct correlation to the vote and percentage of immigrants. The government types were always significant in VA. It was mass immigration and the domestic migration of people from the Northeast that changed VA blue.
The US will have the demographics of CA today in 2050. Does anyone believe CA will go red any time soon?
Because of this, the red may grow in the Midwest AND Northeast as much as VA, NV, CO, WA, etc., have gone blue.
What states specifically in the Midwest and Northeast? "May" is the operative word. And for what reason(s)? Unless the GOP adopts Trump's policies on immigration, trade, and placing American workers first, the GOP will go down the drain after Trump.
From your first link looking good for Nov.better all the time.

In 2016, that person arrived in the unlikely form of a New York real estate mogul who was far more comfortable with the hardhats on his construction sites than he was with the bankers and foremen. The “blue-collar billionaire” spoke like a guy from Queens because he was, in fact, a guy from Queens. That raw authenticity was valued by blue-collar folks, who considered him to be “one of them.”
They, in turn, rewarded him on election day. White working-class voters comprised one-third of the 2016 electorate; Trump won them by about 39 percentage points, far outpacing Mitt Romney‘s 2012 margin. They made up the basis for his wins in the critical swing states, particularly in the industrial rust belt, from Pennsylvania to Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Today, they continue to support Trump and his policies. This is particularly true of his economic agenda as they benefit from the bounce-back in manufacturing, energy-sector and construction jobs, wage growth and the successful renegotiation of trade deals — like this week’s new NAFTA deal with Mexico — that disproportionately slammed them.
A new Harris poll of blue-collar workers, conducted on behalf of Express Employment Professionals and released today, bears this out.
According to the survey, blue-collar laborers are among the most optimistic groups in the country: A whopping “85 percent of [them] see their lives heading ‘in the right direction’ and 51 percent say the same about the country. That is 12 percentage points higher than among all Americans who say the country is heading in the right direction (39 percent), according to the July edition of the Harvard-Harris Poll polling average.”
That optimism carries over into other areas. Fifty-five percent say they are better off now than they were five years ago. And they believe this positive momentum will carry forward in the years ahead: A stunning 88 percent of blue-collar parents agree with the statement, “My kids will have a better future than I will.”
Indeed, the poll reports that 80 percent of blue-collar workers are optimistic about the future, and more than one-third (34 percent) say they are “very optimistic.” Eighty percent also agree that “the harder you work, the more successful you will be,” and 70 percent believe that the “American dream is alive for people like me.”
The poll found something else that should strike fear in Democrats. Blue-collar workers are slightly more likely to identify with the Democratic Party, 35 percent vs. 31 percent for Republicans — which makes the fact that they think Republicans do a better job than Democrats of helping blue-collar Americans, 39 percent vs. 36 percent, even more astonishing.
For everything we’ve been hearing about economic anxiety, the Harris poll suggests otherwise.
