I am pretty sure the city of Springfield proper goes Democrat, it is the suburbs and rural portions that the GOP tends to run up the margins. Despite a lot of state employees it is in the heart of the Midwest which swung heavily towards Trump as well as on the northern edge of the Bible Belt so quite socially conservative. Also not everyone is a state employee, you have a lot of blue collar workers who GOP has made gains amongst as well as I believe the percentage with a college degree is below the national average as a rule of thumb anywhere that you had a lot of whites without a college degree tended to back Trump.
