One state after the election -- but a big one:

This may be water over the dam or under the bridge, but at this point if Trump were up for election (he isn't, of course) he would lose. It's favorability, but with these numbers the difference between approval and favorability cannot mean much. This of course follows the insane events at the US Capitol about a month ago. Texas is increasingly becoming a microcosm of America in most aspects of life, although it is still decidedly more Republican than the US as a whole.
Trump did win the state decisively, although less decisively than any Republican nominee since Dole in 1996.
[table][tr][td]....................VF SF N SU VUDK
Joe Biden 26 15 11 5 37 6
Kamala Harris 25 14 8 6 37 10
Donald Trump 29 10 5 5 46 5[/table]
VF very favorable
SF somewhat favorable
N (neutral) neither favorable nor unfavorable
SU slightly unfavorable
VU very unfavorable
DK don't know/no response
Biden is at 41-43, but Trump is at 39-51 in favorability. To be sure, that is not approval, but I can see no way of seeing Biden more positively than Trump among Texas voters for now.
