It's a poll of Massachusetts, the first of the Colonies to turn against George III. But you'll see why I put it and my commentary here very easily.
Suffolk, Massachusetts.
Don't deride Massachusetts as an impossible state for a Republican. In Presidential races, Eisenhower won the state twice in the 1950s, and Reagan won it twice in the 1980s (even if it was his second-worst state in 1984). It has elected the late great Ed Brooke to the Senate and Mitt Romney as Governor. It even has a Republican Governor, Charlie Baker:
approve 72 disapprove 18
which is surprisingly even stronger than a Democratic Senator who is being hyped as a possible Presidential nominee (Elizabeth Warren)
approve 57 disapprove 35
I don't see Donald Trump as much of a baseball fan, especially of the much-hated (in Greater Boston) New York Yankees:
approve 22 disapprove 73
(I'd guess that Derek Jeter, the greatest shortstop in the history of the New York Yankees, would have a higher approval rating than Donald Trump, and would defeat him soundly in Massachusetts if he ran as a Democrat. It is bad form to show any New York Yankees logo in Greater Boston. Mets? It might be shaky.
Well, Donald Trump isn't Charlie Baker, Ed Brooke, Mitt Romney, Dwight Eisenhower, or Ronald Reagan. I'm guessing that he is in George III territory in Massachusetts.
Oh, by the way -- 53% of Bay State voters in this poll think that Congress should seriously consider impeaching the President. The good news for President Trump is that the state is Massachusetts.
500 likely voters, September 13-17.

Can you imagine any incumbent President having only 22% approval in any state without the economy going into the tank or being on the brink of impeachment?
