Trump is really unpopular in the most important 2020 battleground states
Trump is deep underwater in New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Michigan, and other key 2020 states.
As he seeks a second term in the 2020 election, President Trump should be able to lean on his advantage in the Electoral College in 2016, as you might remember, he lost the national popular vote but won enough states (and the right states) to secure 270 electors and take the presidency.
But new polling of his state-by-state approval ratings suggests the president is unpopular in some of the most important battleground states for 2020, an ill omen if the trends hold until Election Day 2020.
Trump has been unpopular since his first day in office. The question now is whether hes so unpopular that it overrides his advantage as an incumbent and a pretty strong US economy. The new state polls from Morning Consult dont bode well for him.
Here are the raw numbers for Trump in the states that are expected to be competitive in the 2020 election:
New Hampshire: 39 percent approval, 58 percent disapproval
Wisconsin: 42 percent approval, 55 percent disapproval
Michigan: 42 percent approval, 54 percent disapproval
Iowa: 42 percent approval, 54 percent disapproval
Arizona: 45 percent approval, 51 percent disapproval
Pennsylvania 45 percent approval, 52 percent disapproval
Ohio: 46 percent approval, 50 percent disapproval
North Carolina: 46 percent approval, 50 percent disapproval
Florida: 48 percent approval, 48 percent disapproval
Indiana: 49 percent approval, 46 percent disapproval
Its a grim picture. Wisconsin and Michigan were critical Midwestern pieces of Trumps Electoral College puzzle and he is now deeply unpopular in both states. Pennsylvania was maybe his most surprising win in 2016, and now he is seven points underwater. Perhaps Trump can take solace in his even job approval rating in Florida, but that is the only swing state where the president looks as strong as he did on Election Day 2016. Everywhere else, his support has deteriorated.
