Trump Support Highest Among American Workers since FDR - 60%+

SHOCK POLL: Trump Blue Collar Support highest since FDR in 1930s –...

It may come as a surprise to many that Donald J Trump’s support from Blue Collar Americans (those involved in trades, manufacturing, industry, and labor) is the highest since any candidate since FDR in 1936 since Gallup began polling.

Trump has consistently shown his appeal to the blue collar sector of the economy, pulling ahead of even Clinton and Sanders in “rust belt” states like Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Pennslyvania.

These states have the highest share of “Blue Collar” voters in the nation, and many of them have not voted Republican in over 20 years.

Trump’s appeal to blue collar workers is in the 60% range, higher than any candidate since Franklin Roosevelt won a massive landslide in 1936 on the support of the Blue Collar voter.

Trump is pulling high among 'Republican leaning' voters but less among 'Reliable Republican voters' who voted in the previous Presidential election's primary in their state.

FDR ... in 1936? You mean after he'd already been elected and spent a term doing something about the Depression --- and you want to compare that with a TV attention whore who's in not-even-an-election-year.

Yeah that'll work.

Yes, cretin, Trump is as popular as FDR was AFTER FDR had time to win that support after several years in office.

Try to imagine, I know it will be hard for you, but try to imagine how much support Trump could have after several years in office.

I actually have to take you by the hand and explain this?

Assessment of somebody's activity in office, when there is effectively only one alternative, is a completely different thing from running around with one's combover on fire yelling "they're rapists". You've got a blatant apples-to-oranges here.

Does bring up an interesting contrast though:

FDR: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"
RUMP: "They're rapists!"

Quite the contrast indeed.

 

[TheOldSchool]

Lol comparing Trump to FDR. I'm sure conservatives love that.

FDR was physically crippled; Rump, intellectually. So yeah I can see some comparisons....

Dat's me, always trying to find common ground.

All that is nothing more than a quibble as Trumps support is coming at a weaker time in his campaign and with less sympathy from the media.

You are saying apples and oranges, but the only truth to that is due to the difficulties and barriers to Trump in making such a huge popularity possible are far greater than FDR faced.

 

[blastoff]

I'd bet dollars to donuts lots of the blue collar folks are good Democrats.

But that's not something dimocrats want to hear about.

In my experience, blue collar American workers aren't as stupid or ignorant as pompous lefties choose to believe. As taxpayers they are well aware that their hard work is taxed to pay for gov'ts wasteful and unsustainable spending, including benefits to those who game the system to qualify for them.

Their unions may be Dem supporters but individually they are likely to vote for candidates who best represent their values and America's best interest, making them as (or more) likely to vote Repub in national elections.

Bernie Sanders, who claims to eschew PAC money, has as his largest financial supporters a list of PACs that reads like a who's-who of labor unions.

Yeah that'll work.

You mean when he extended the depression through socialist endeavors.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Why would this be a shock....he's about the only one standing up for them

Uh... nnnnnnnno. I don't deal in revisionist fantasies. Usually I'm the one shooting them down.

No, I mean the way he was poised for a landslide after the economy collapsed and the public observed Hoover doing not much of anything, calling the shanties they were forced to live in "Hoovervilles" ----- contrasted with the way FDR got busy and put people to work, stabilized the banks, all that silly crap.

Fun fact: FDR's first mid-term election, in 1934, was the first one in the history of these two parties where the party in the White House did not lose (actually gained) ground in Congress. To date it's happened only three times.

Do some people here still think Trump has a shot at being the GOP nominee?

That's awesome.

I don't care that he was reelected. Hell, even Obama was reelected. FDR kept the depression going. WWII got us out of it.

Uh.. yyeah whatever you say Sparky! And jeepers, Hitler was a Democrat and founded the KKK, and Liberalism is Fascism! What's more, we have always been at war with Oceania! Top speed, comrade!

Not nearly so awesome as a crook like Hillary being the Dimbocrap nominee.

Hitler would be more welcome in the Democratic Party today than JFK would be, if Hitler merely toned down his racism a tad and made is superior race to be blacks instead of Teutonic Caucasians. Everything else from his gun control laws, anti-semitism, opposition to free speech, his disrespect for democracy, his obsession with ecological issues and promoting the natural world over humanity, his disrespect for Christianity, all the rest of his ideas match up perfectly with the Democratic Party.

There it is. I knew you'd not be able to go a weekend without saying something that is batshit crazy.

And you cant go one post without resorting to blather.

One can go down the list of values and beliefs of each, the National Socialist Party and the Democratic Party that gave us the KKK, and there is a huge match to about 90% of them, from hostility to free speech and democracy to economic socialism to the use of racial systems for political and legal proposals.

There is nothing crazy about any of that; it is simply FACT.
