If true this is devastating news for the DNC because they can't win without the Union voter. Puts to rest the myth that Trump's only supporters are Southern, rural, and White.
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.

The Dems turned their backs on the unions after they got their votes.

You got Mexican truckers all over the US now.
You have car/truck mfg moving to Mexico.
You have Mexican trains running on US tracks.

And then you have the creation of the W Visa by the Dems (never made it into law though) that would have gutted the SEIU

So you are saying the party that is for getting rid of unions, the Republicans, and who unions are running to? Yeah, that makes no sense. What has the Republicans done for the union workers in the US?

Manufacturing companies being moved to Mexico is called global capitalism, something right wingers claim to support. This is what happens when you push for unrestricted capitalism.

I'd be interested in looking at the poll's data breakdown if anyone can find it. There's nothing on the prntly article that even identifies the pollster, let alone printing the details. Every other reference I found through Google referred back to the original article and provided no additional details. Also, not one mainstream news source has picked it up, which makes you wonder if it's legit.

That is usually a red flag right there.

The Democrats and Repubicans have done nothing for them but Trump is talking about jobs. Without jobs, there is no need for unions. It ties up into one nice little package.

It is no shock to me that "jobs" and deporting the illegals would get the attention of my home state of MI. Per my update of the area where I lived, illegals are everywhere. They have taken the jobs in the RV industry in the Elkhart area which is the mainstay of the area and the quality of the work shows it too.

If you think Trump supports moving companies to Mexico, you haven't been listening close enough.

Blue Collar support for Trump will be HUGE! So many of these workers have been pushed out by the companies leaving the country or illegals taking their jobs for less pay.

The supporters of Trump understand what it will take to make America great again and most of us probably remember what it used to be like especially the blue collar workers in MI.

Good news! Keep it coming!

Located this article that goes a little more into the explanation of what is going on: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/la...rticle/2573359 and in this article they mention Joe Biden and waiting to endorse to see what he is going to do: http://theconservativetreehouse.com/...p-endorsement/ Maybe they are tired of waiting, didn't want to endorse Hillary so are looking hard at Trump.

What exactly has Trump been saying about jobs? What about jobs Trump has moved overseas to begin with....his record shows he is all for sending jobs overseas.

I've said many times that the middle class/blue collar workers have all abandoned the DNC. It's going to be a cold slap in the face for them in 2016.
