Trump vs. Clinton Voting Numbers in Holmdel, Middletown, Hazlet and Rumson

After covering Saturday's pro-Trump rally along Rt. 35 in Middletown, Patch was curious just how many Trump supporters there are in this stretch of northern Monmouth County. We asked the county clerk's office for the 2016 presidential election voting records, and learned that the Trump/Pence ticket won in several major towns/townships in the region:

Holmdel: Trump won Holmdel, getting 4,919 votes compared to 3,577 for Clinton/Kaine. There are 12,902 registered voters in Holmdel Twp., and about 9,000 of them voted on Nov. 8.

Hazlet: Surprisingly, Trump won Hazlet, too, which is represented by Democratic Congressman Frank Pallone. Trump did very well in Hazlet, getting 6,252 votes compared to 3,566 for Clinton/Kaine. There are about 14,000 registered voters in Hazlet and about 10,000 voted. Gary Johnson received 229 votes.

Middletown: Trump won here by a very wide margin, receiving 21,267 votes compared to 12,979 for Hillary Clinton. About 73 percent of the 49,510 registered voters in Middletown Township voted.

Rumson: Somewhat surprisingly, Trump won Rumson by the slimmest margin in the area, getting 2,131 votes compared to 1,592 for Clinton/Kaine. Again, about 70 percent of Rumson's 5,600 registered voters cast a ballot.
