Trump is loved in Vigo county

a clip from your link:

And, in nearly every presidential election since 1888, voters here in this blue-collar county have selected the winning candidate, missing only twice: Once, in 1908, when they opted for Williams Jennings Bryan instead of William Howard Taft, and again in 1952, when they chose Adlai Stevenson rather than Dwight D. Eisenhower.
“It’s obviously because of our extraordinary intelligence and good sense,” said Bayh, whose father built the family’s political dynasty here. “It’s classic middle America. Small businesses. Family farms. Community schools. We care more about common sense results than we do about party labels and ideology. … You don’t get the excesses of New York or California. We keep it between the 40-yard-lines.”

Vigo loves Trump!
 
American bellwether counties include:

  • Vigo County, Indiana (county seat: Terre Haute) - 2 misses (1908, 1952) from 1888 on, perfect since 1956.[9][10] From 1960 to 2004, Vigo County had been within 3 percent of the national presidential vote every election.[11] In 2008, Vigo County again voted with the winner, but Obama's percentage of 57.3% was about 4.4% above Obama's national vote.[12] In 2012, Vigo kept its streak going, voting for President Obama, 49.5% to Romney's 48.6%.[13]
  • Chautauqua County, New York (county seat: Mayville; largest city: Jamestown) - one missed since 1980 (2012); three misses (1960, 1976 and 2012) since 1952. Historically a Republican county through World War II, the county has become a swing county as a result of demographic changes.
