Donald Trump: polls of approval and favorability

[pbrower2a]

Iowa -- Selzer, Des Moines Register:

Quote:A new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll shows 43 percent of Iowans approve of the job Republican Donald Trump is doing as president, compared with 52 percent who disapprove. Fifty-six percent, meanwhile, say the nation has gotten off on the wrong track, while 32 percent say it’s headed in the right direction.

Selzer is one of the best pollsters in the business. It's one state and one electorally-small, but the 'gain' in disapproval for the President suggests that Iowa could be out of reach for the president in 2020. Other Republicans do fine, so the problem is Donald Trump. President Trump won Iowa decisively in 2016, but with this disapproval I can hardly expect him to win the state in 2020.

This poll suggests that the President has not pulled the Midwest permanently into the clutches of the Republican Party. Iowa and Wisconsin usually vote in tandem.

Don't be surprised if I modify this polling map to add other statewide polls.

Come on, Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Missouri, and Ohio!

The letter F shall signify a favorability poll, as the only polls that I have for Arizona, Massachusetts and Oklahoma

White - tie.

More telling may be disapproval ratings. Some of these are favorability ratings, which will get an asterisk.
