Trump has a negative approval rating in every single swing state, and his approval has now plunged to new lows in several states.
The latest Morning Consult Trump approval rating state polls are all bad news for the president:
– New Hampshire: 39% approval, 58% disapproval (-19 net approval)
– Wisconsin: 42% approval, 55% disapproval (-13)
– Michigan: 42% approval, 54% disapproval (-12)
– Iowa: 42% approval, 54% disapproval (-12)
– Arizona: 45% approval, 51% disapproval (-6)
– Pennsylvania 45% approval, 52% disapproval (-7)
– Ohio: 46% approval, 50% disapproval (-4)
– North Carolina: 46% approval, 50% disapproval (-4)
– Florida: 48% approval, 48% disapproval (zero)
Iowa is turning into a major problem for Trump as his trade war is backfiring and farmers in the state are getting economically pummeled by tariffs. Trump’s net approval has gone from (-8) to (-12) in a month. In Wisconsin, Trump’s net approval rating has gone from (-10) to (-13). In Michigan, Trump has dropped from a net (-10) to a (-12). In North Carolina, Trump’s net approval has gone from a (-2) to a (-4), and importantly, Trump’s trip to Pennsylvania didn’t matter has his net approval remains at (-7).
Donald Trump can’t afford to lose the Rust Belt or Iowa.
The numbers are not getting better for Trump. They are getting worse, as key swing states are moving away from the president ahead of the 2020 election. There is an eternity between now and 2020, but the movement at the state level is going in the wrong direction for Trump, and if this trajectory continues, he is well on the way to being a one-term president.
