Trump’s best numbers came in Wyoming and West Virginia; his worst numbers were in the District of Columbia and Vermont. Record numbers of Democrats and independents disapproved of Trump in January. At the start of a new period of divided government and amid the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, President Donald Trump’s popularity found a new floor in January. In the latest data from Morning Consult’s Trump Tracker, which measures the president’s approval rating in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, a record low of 40 percent of voters approved of Trump and a record-high 55 percent disapproved, resulting in the worst monthly net rating of his presidency. The latest data is based on 156,104 surveys conducted Jan. 1-31. The nadir was largely fueled by record opposition outside of the president’s base: 88 percent of Democrats and 56 percent of independents disapproved of Trump during the first month of 2019, the most of any month since his Jan. 20, 2017, inauguration. Trump’s base remained fairly solid, with 83 percent of Republicans approving of the president. But that share of support among Republicans was its lowest since September, when Washington was roiled by the Supreme Court confirmation proceedings for Brett Kavanaugh. The poor national marks were reflected at the state level. A majority of voters in just 12 states approved of Trump’s job performance, all of which were red enclaves spanning from Wyoming to Alabama. The president retained support from a plurality of voters in five other states he easily carried during the 2016 election: Alaska, Indiana, Kansas, Montana and North Dakota. But another state that Trump won, Nebraska, was split. A majority of voters in 27 states disapproved of Trump’s job performance in January, including Pennsylvania (53 percent disapprove), Michigan (55 percent disapprove) and Wisconsin (56 percent disapprove), all of which were pivotal to his Electoral College victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016. A plurality of voters disapproved of the president in four states, including perennial swing-state Florida (50 percent disapprove) and Georgia (49 percent disapprove), where Democrats have grown more competitive in recent years amid shifting demographics and the growth of the Atlanta metro area. Without rounding, Trump was 1 point in the red in Texas, another state that has proven kinder to Democrats in the past two election cycles, as well. The president is also underwater by double digits in Colorado (minus 18 points), Iowa (minus 14 points) and Maine (minus 11 points), states that could prove stiff competition for Trump and Senate Republicans next year. 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 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’s January approval was worst in the nation’s capital, the seat of the federal government he shut down over his proposed wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. Eighty-one percent of Washingtonians disapproved of the president, while 16 percent approved. The state closest to matching the District of Columbia’s disapproval figures was Vermont, where 66 percent disapproved and 31 percent approved. His best numbers came in Wyoming, where 63 percent of voters approved of him, and West Virginia, where 60 percent of voters approved of him.

https://www.usnews.com/news/politic...-to-the-polls-to-choose-democrats?context=amp Trump Drove Black Voters to the Polls – to Choose Democrats Susan Milligan • Nov. 19, 2018, at 3:40 p.m. He's no Barack Obama. But President Donald Trump is having his own motivating effect on African-American voters, who overwhelmingly cast votes for Democrats in this month's midterms – in large part because of the damage Trump has done to the GOP brand, according to pollsters who surveyed African-Americans immediately before the elections. Nine out of 10 African-Americans surveyed on the eve of the election said they were voting or had already voted early for a Democrat in the congressional races, up from 77 percent who said so in July, according to the survey by the African American Research Collaborative. And while a number of GOP candidates distanced themselves from their party's controversial leader or just tried to ignore him, polling showed Trump might as well have been on the ballot himself, the survey indicated. Nearly 8 in 10 African-Americans said Trump made them "angry," while 85 percent of black women and 81 percent of black men said Trump made them feel "disrespected," according to the study. Similar majorities of African-American voters – 89 percent of women and 83 percent of men – said Trump's statements and policies will cause "a major setback to racial progress." That Trump effect filtered down to damage even candidates in the Northeast and California, where the GOP contenders did not necessarily align with the president, and may have affected other ballot choices as well, Henry Fernandez, a principal at the collaborative, told reporters in a conference call. "African-American voters and other voters of color are associating Trumpism with all Republican candidates," Watkins said. "Even with Trump not being in the ballot, Trumpism was effectively on the ballot. The entire party has now been branded," he said. Black women – who were integral in the narrow upset victory by Democratic Sen. Doug Jones of Alabama last December – also played an outsized role in electing Democrats in the midterms, said Ray Block, a political science professor at the University of Kentucky, assessing the poll. African-American women were more likely than black men to vote for the Democrat, by a 94 percent to 84 percent difference, according to the poll. In the Nevada Senate race specifically, for example, 93 percent of African-Americans voted for Democratic Sen.-elect Jacky Rosen. The same percentage voted for Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams in Georgia – not enough to make her the Peach State's first female African-American governor but enough to show the potential power of the black vote, Block told reporters. "It's not simply women voting for women," he said. "Anger and disrespect, I believe, are motivators for black turnout." African-Americans have long been a reliable Democratic vote. But turnout has been uneven, arguably making the difference in the 2008, 2012 and the 2016 elections. A record two-thirds of African-American voters showed up at the polls in 2012 to re-elect the nation's first black president, according to the Pew Research Center. In 2016, African-American turnout declined for the first time in a presidential election in 20 years, to 59.6. Political analysts and pollsters attributed the drop to Obama's absence from the ballot – and the decline may well have made the difference for losing Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, whom critics charge had taken the African-American vote for granted. Monday's poll showed that Democrats have made some improvements and are still ahead of the GOP in terms of appealing to African-American voters. The study showed that 72 percent felt Democrats were doing a good job reaching out to African-Americans – up from 56 percent in the July poll, and demonstrably better than the 12 percent who feel that way now about the GOP. Fifteen percent said in July that Republicans were doing a good job reaching out to blacks. Derrick Johnson, president of the NAACP, said the nation will not be a true democracy until both political parties engage and value the votes of African-Americans and other minority populations. But those communities have work to do as well, he said. "It's not incumbent on politicians to appeal to a community," Johnson said in the conference call. "It's incumbent on the communities to define the agenda of the party."
Rasmussen says Trump has a 36% black approval rating in 2018. Dems get 90 % of the black vote with very high black voter turnout in 2018 Rasmussen is jems aka tjustice favorite poll
When black voters vote in high numbers in presidential or swing state elections republicans lose....period. Black voters will be voting in 2020 in high numbers as they did in 2018 and 2017 races like Northems and Doug Jones's
wrong... any poll with proper sample or templates is a favorite poll for any thinking person. I have no comment on the quality of Rasmuessen President approval poll. I have not studied it. So its not Tjustice's favorite poll.
Wrong,you said Rasmussen was a jem honest poll.You have been believing in Rasmussen since most of thier polls showed Romney would beat Obama.You started this stupid thread after they said Trump has a 50% approval rating while most others have him around 40 % and he just lost the mid terms by the most votes ever.
First of all jem ceased posting here. Second... we can only judge polls accurately when they reveal their samples and we see they conform to recent election turnouts. Rasmussen is hiding their cross tab behind a platinum membership... so we don't know whether they are good poll or not right now. So wait, now you wish to judge polls on whether they picked the winner? Or, are you saying the winner does not matter like you have been saying since all your favorite polls failed in 2016. by the way I don't really care about whatever bullshit you are about to post.
Democrats are notorious for stacking the deck on their polls. In one poll in California before the elections of November 8 ,2016, a liberal hack interviewed 10 extreme liberal Democrats. He asked if they liked Donald Trump and if they would vote for him? Of course, the overwhelming answer is no! So, 100% against Donald Trump in a very tiny sample of 10 women? I bet they added lots of zeros and projected that a huge percentage of women hated Donald Trump?
