1. Dang not even TX or FL

[sheshe2]

7. I was going to say he same thing.

Wow indeed.

[moonscape]

25. I was thinking:

No South Carolina?!

[Skittles]

33. not surprised by Texas, lots of blue here

but Mississippi? Indiana? VERY HOPEFUL INDEED.

[Chipper Chat]

2. That's 52 electoral votes.

No mandate

[Pisces]

3. Those place are definitely on my never visit list. What would it take for them to disapprove??? Would he have to fling

poop at the crowd???

[ananda]

10. They'd probably eat it and call it manna.

>>>>

[kimbutgar]

15. I've been to 3 of them

Not impressed. Unfortunately I have to make a trip to Idaho because my husband has family who lives there he wants to see again someday.

[Wounded Bear]

4. If only that map could transfer over to votes...

that actually get counted.

[LeftInTX]

24. His approval rating in Texas is 48%. Same as his approval rating in Oct 2024.

His favorability rating was 46% in Oct 2020

I think it would need to be much lower to make a dent in vote.

[brakester]

38. Well, welcome to the emotional rollercoaster!

I got my hopes up over the thought that we could be getting bluer.

I'm still pretty optimistic about November, though.

Sometimes, when I am still in that transition zone between sleep and waking, I allow myself to dream of the vindication dance I will indulge in if we can turn both Houses of Congress, then 2 years later, boot the Orange Fungus out of the People's White House and start in on a long list of delightful changes to give America back to the People!!!

[Wounded Bear]

40. Might depend on Talarico and whether he can draw out some voters...nt

[dweller]

5. this one never gets old

✌🏻

[DavidDvorkin]

6. Not even Mississippi!

[Ars Longa]

20. Whoa!...Not even Arkansas??

[Celerity]

23. First thing I noticed as well, as MS is close to the worst state to live in, at least I would tend to think so. I'm open

to other candidates at least.

In no order I would say that the following 10 states are the worst to live in, all things added in:

ND
WV
MS
SD
AL
OK
AR
NE
KS
IN

finally, a bonus pick, based off geography:

AK (beautiful, but fuck that climate and isolation, that is not my cuppa, and I live in Sweden, ffs, but Alaska is so much colder, darker, and isolated, Sweden is FAR less extreme, plus so much better politically, and FAR more cosmopolitan)

[LeftInTX]

26. In most of the red states, Trump's approval rating is just under 50%

It really don't mean anything, since Trump's approval rating was under 50% in Texas just prior to the 2020 and 2024 election.

Yeah, they voted for him.

The approval rating would need to be much lower to translate to votes.

Obama's approval rating was dismal and he was re-elected. Approval ratings are more or less "bitch and moan".....

[brakester]

39. That's close to

the skinny margin fckface won over Harris in 2024.

Certainly NO mandate!

[LearnedHand]

8. Do we know the source of the underlying data?

I went to the Bluesky post but it doesn’t cite any sources.

[LeftInTX]

27. Here is Texas history

https://texaspolitics.utexas.edu/set/donald-trump-favorability-trend

It doesn't translate to votes. His rating have never been impressive. It was below 50% just before the 2020 and 2024 election.

9. Good thing for (R)s that we use the electoral college

That keeps the map at about 50/50.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

11. West Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky

I am not surprised.

States with low wages and lousy infrastructure.

[GenThePerservering]

12. Welfare states - cut 'em off. nt

[Fiendish Thingy]

13. What a beautiful sight to behold! Now will someone please explain to me...

Just how ICE will be deployed “only to strategically selected blue districts” in November?

So many to choose from…

[SheltieLover]

14. How did I know red shithole TN would be among them?

[Diamond_Dog]

30. I'm surprised Ohio isn't one of them!

[SheltieLover]

31. Me too!

[Pesky1]

32. Hold On

I live in Nashville and can report to you that Nashville, Davidson County, is quite well off. Much like Russia where Moscow is one of the wealthiest cities in the world while the rest of the country is close to third world. Nashville has the county music honky tonk face (I'm not a fan) while at the same time is the home of Vanderbilt University, one of the best universities in the country. Both faces are evident, and Davidson County is quite wealthy. Williamson County, just south of Nashville, is one of the ten wealthiest Counties in the country.

Let me guess, you have some s'hole spots in your territory also.

[SheltieLover]

34. Nice you live there!

The Vanderbilt campus is gorgeous!

And you have restaurants & entertainment venues.

Sadly for me, I'm stuck in Memphis burbs until things stabelize. I'm about 35 mi ENE of Memphis.

Nashville is the other blue dot in this red hellhole state.

Not at all a fan of country music either. If I never heard another whining song about torn screen doors & flat tires, I'd be fine with that. Lol (I avoid it like the plague.)

All that said, repukes have a stranglehold on state govt., the Constitution is meaningless here, & I detest this state for it & especially this region which is a huge intellectual vacuum. Hence, their propensity to cut off their own noses to spite their faces by voting R. 😓

[Emile]

16. Aladamnbama believes in Magic R

[yellowcanine]

17. If gas prices stay high the map could turn all blue.

Many people in West Virginia have hellishly long commutes to get to a job with decent wages. Also to get to a medical appointment or a hospital. The same is probably true in Montana and the Dakotas. What the hell happened to South Dakota anyway? McGovern was from there.

[Blue Owl]

19. Also known as the dumbest states

[Johonny]

21. Al Gore has to be like WTF

[Boomerproud]

22. States that I will not be visiting.

nt

[moonscape]

28. Love the Smoky Mountains

in Tennessee! Will go back there in a heartbeat

[lapfog_1]

29. aka Dumbfuckistan - n/t

[Dan]

35. Recently Donald bragged about reducing the poverty roles by 3.3 Million

I wonder if that will translate to either voting blue (so they can eat) or not voting. I also question why the media didn’t ask Trump - what happened to those 3.3 million people.

[Cha]

36. No Montana! And Kentucky has a Blue Gov!

[brakester]

37. Sometimes extreme gerrymandering

will result in the state offices of red or purple states being reliably blue because (ha! ha!)
it's hard to cheat when the whole state votes as a block.
This happens in North Carolina.
It makes for interesting and sometimes confounding politics.

[Cha]

41. Makes it harder for Gov Josh Stein and

Dems.

[Betty Boom]

42. Data source?

I am so tired of these unattributed posts. This information is useless without a cited source.

[MaeScott]

43. Kentucky...

is sucky
But in not the areas with higher educational levels, like the major cities and college towns.
With a stronger Dem Party, I bet we could break this rw stranglehold based on the Orange Cockwomble alone. Need the will
