Donald Trump: polls of approval and favorability
Two states: Indiana and Texas. Indiana is usually rock-solid Republican in Presidential elections, so much that Republicans do not win the Presidency except when winning the state by 10% or more. Trump won it 56-37 and still lost the national popular vote (but he won the 'right votes' elsewhere, so he is President). But he is underwater in polling support in Indian. He might win the state -- barely -- in 2020. He might also lose it.

TEXAS

from Quinnipiac, which has never polled Texas before.

Quote:Texas voters disapprove 52 - 43 percent of the job President Donald Trump is doing. Republicans approve 85 - 13 percent. Disapproval is 90 - 8 percent among Democrats and 64 - 28 percent among independent voters.

Ted Cruz is barely ahead of O'Rourke. Texas could reflect change in political culture unique to Texas, but (1) Trump support in Texas has been consistently shaky so far, and (2) see also Arizona, Florida, and Georgia, all of which have some similarities. Texas contains the 400th electoral vote for a Democrat, which is not a partisan statement.

Sure, Texas is a tricky state to poll -- but Trump can't be that far underwater in the Lone Star State in a poll without being underwater.

Addendum: one pollster shows a 45-45 split on Trump in Kentucky.

Nothing from before November 2017. Polls from Alabama and New Jersey are exit polls from 2017 elections.
