Looking state by state with an eye toward the electoral college, Trump is underwater in key states:- Minnesota (39/57)
- Wisconsin (40/56)
- Pennsylvania (43/53)
- Arizona (44/52)
- Ohio (45/51)
- Michigan (40/55)
- North Carolina (46/50)
“In all, the January data shows Trump’s net approval declined in 43 states and increased in four: Idaho, Louisiana, Georgia and New Mexico,” the polls finds. “The biggest slide came in New Hampshire, the traditional holder of the first-in-the-nation presidential primary. Nearly six in 10 Granite Staters (58 percent) disapproved of Trump in January — up 6 points since December — while 39 percent approved, down 4 points since the prior month.”
Trump is singularly inept — uninterested, actually — at broadening his base of support or winning back disaffected voters. Provided Democrats do not nominate someone who turns off a substantial share of the electorate (no slam-dunk), they have a pool of available voters they did not enjoy in 2016.
In short, Trump is failing. The question remains whether Democrats can avoid screwing up. One need look no further than Virginia to understand that remains a not-insignificant possibility.
It doesn't mean ****. Reagan's approval rating was lower than Trumps at the same time of that presidency and he won 49 of 50 states.
Obviously we're too polarized to get anywhere near that big of a swing; but the only smart thing is to ignore all the polls till like 2 weeks before the election.
Also you know dems are gonna spend all the time pointlessly trying to win Georgia instead of actual states like 2016 or 2018 (remember how much time was spent on actually believing they could win Tennessee?)
