    (National Sentinel) Midterms: It turns out there might just be a “blue wave” after all during the midterm elections in November, just not the one Democrats are counting on to usher them back into power, at least in the House.

    Rather, as the Free Beacon reports, a new survey of blue-collar workers has found that the vast majority of them are satisfied with the direction of their lives in the Age of POTUS Trump and GOP congressional control.

    Once upon a time, the Democratic Party could count on blue-collar workers as one of its most reliable constituencies, but in recent years the party has moved on from mostly white, middle-class workers without college degrees to focus more on attracting various “victim’s groups” and minorities.

    The Free Beacon reported:

    A new survey, conducted by the Harris Poll, found that 85 percent of blue-collar workers said their lives are advancing in “the right direction.” The survey, commissioned by Express Employment Professionals, took place between July 9 and July 23. Data were collected from 1,049 blue-collar workers from across the nation who are employed in professions requiring manual labor.

    Across the board, the results indicate America’s blue-collar workforce is sanguine about the nation’s current economic outlook and their own standing. Apart from the 85 percent of blue-collar Americans who said their lives are going in the right direction, 69 percent said their local communities are on the right path, and 58 percent view their states as being on a positive course.

    Blue-collar workers, in general, are more positive about the direction of the country. The poll found that 51 percent say the country is headed in the right direction under POTUS Trump and Republicans, 12 points higher than the 39 percent of all Americans who thought so according to a July Harvard-Harris poll.


    And here’s more proof: Overall, 55 percent of blue-collar workers say they are better off today than five years ago during the economically stagnant years of the Obama regime.

    The economy is booming and Trump was elected largely because of blue collar workers in swing states.

    It will be interesting to see the effects of a booming economy and record unemployment this november, really only 2 months off.

    Globalist Democrats believe that Americans are supposed to be punished and brought down to where the rest of the world lives for all their crimes against Earth. If you elect Democrats they will work to take everything from you and redistribute it to globalist. America will lose its identity.

    Agreed. Blue collar workers can feel the difference over Democrats.

    I think enough will vote Republican to make things hard for democrats.

    I hope they can feel a difference, after all we are running record deficits during a “recovery”, a time when we should be preparing and saving for the next recession.

    And here I thought the republicans were against buying votes... y’all need to put an asterisk after everything y’all say you stand for.

    They sure are, and the democrat party has been ignoring them since long before the last election.

    THEY haven't forgotten.

    Allowing people to KEEP THEIR OWN MONEY, isn't "buying" anything.

    TAKING IT from the PEOPLE WHO EARNED IT, and GIVING IT TO THOSE THAT DIDN'T , like the democrats always do, IS.

    I hope we see the beginning of the backlash to race-baiting finally in these next elections.

    Keeping people employed, and keeping more of what they earn is not buying votes.

    Importing illegals and advocating to give them universal healthcare is buying votes.

    Democrats don't understand how that sounds to the people who are already living off their crumbs that now there are being asked to share their crumbs with the rest of the world

    The 90's were ok, but the numbers were padded by the tech boom.

    Trump also said that there will be violence if he gets impeached and we will all be very poor.

    The left is running out of victims to pander to, that's why they're giving free healthcare to illegals, no cash bail to criminals, and pardoning sex offenders. This, ladies and gentlemen, is your new democrat party.

    Paying farming corporations because of tariffs is buying votes. Putting temporary tax breaks for the midddle class while keeping them permanently for the top 0.1% without cutting other areas is buying votes.

    I agree with your last sentence.
