I read in the on line edition of the Muncie Star that 60% of the white men in Muncie are for Trump. Is that pretty much the concensus thru out the entire state, or is that just a Muncie thing?

I'm surprised Indiana's not considered a swing state. I never hear anything on the news about how popular Trump in Indiana. On the map, they have Indiana colored a solid red state. So is Indiana really in the bag for Trump?

Indiana is a Red state. Trump will win Indiana.
The bigger deal is the Senate seat. Evan Bayh is a popular figure in Indiana. That seat could flip to the Dems.

Yes by a narrow margin and it was the first time Indiana went democrat for presdient since the 1960s. Most things I've read is that it's pretty expected Trump will win Indiana even though I've heard some people say Trump lost their vote when he picked Pence as his running mate. Hillary is very unpopular here it seems. Bernie Sanders won the Democratic primary over Hillary.

A month ago Trump was up by 7%.


Romney won by 10% in 2012, Obama won by 1% in 2008.

Bayh was up on Young by 4% a month ago, governor's race was tied in August.

In the region I'm seeing A LOT more Trump yard signs/bumper stickers than Hillary. And Lake County has voted democratic traditionally. This may have to do with the stereotypical Trump supporter than anything else.

Yeah, there was a discussion I saw on one of the TV stations the other day about how there are 5 dynamic groups.

1) Staunch Trump supporters - will put his stuff on their lawn and wear hats and whatnot and verbally bash Hillary on social media
2) Staunch Hillary supporters - will put stuff on their lawn and verbally support her and bash Trump on social media
3) Silent Trump supporters - (aka Closet Trumps) who vote conservative but really don't like Trump, but plan to vote for him because they traditionally vote Red and don't plan on changing it regardless, but still don't want to be a public/outward supporter of Trump/Pence.
4) Silent Hillary supporters - people who generally vote Democrat but aren't heavily in her corner due to her political issues, don't talk about who they support - might be more of an anti-Trump voter than a Pro-Hillary Voter
5) 3rd Party supporters - not always outwardly supporting, but are either in Johnson or Stein's corner primarily - the totally heartbroken Sanders supporters who refuse Hillary are with Stein, and Johnson seems to take some from both of the primary parties.

The question is the percentage breakout for the 5 groups. We hear about #1 vividly because they're what sells in the media today. Obama won IN in 08 because of how ready the country was for change from the GOP standard and Obama's platform created the perfect storm to motivate young voters. That isn't really there this year, so I can see why IN would be firmly red again.

My best guess for the election as a nation is that there are far more closet Hillary supporters than closet Trump supporters and that Hillary wins the swing states to take it.

I don't think a red state will go blue but a blue state may go red this election. Many battleground states are ripe for change because 3 topics that Hillary doesn't talk about. Jobs, immigration, and Obamacare. She keeps dodging the subject about jobs, how can a nominee win without addressing the biggest issue?
