NBC News/Marist Poll shows Trump's approval below 40 percent in three key Midwest states
President Donald Trump’s job approval rating in three key states that helped propel him to the White House stands below 40 percent, according to a trio of NBC News/Marist polls.
Democrats also enjoy double-digit leads in other important battlegrounds on the question of which party voters prefer to control Congress after the 2018 midterms.
The polling was conducted after the Aug. 12 violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, and in the midst of Trump’s responses to the events.
In Michigan, 36 percent of voters approve of Trump’s job performance (including 19 percent who strongly approve), while 55 percent disapprove (including 40 percent who strongly do).
In Pennsylvania, 35 percent give the president’s job a thumbs up (17 percent strongly), versus 54 percent who disapprove (41 percent strongly).
And in Wisconsin, 34 percent of voters approve of Trump (17 percent strongly), compared with 56 percent who disapprove (42 percent strongly).
In 2016’s general election, Trump won all three states by a combined 80,000 votes, becoming the first Republican to carry these states since the 1980s.
Asked if Trump’s conduct as president made them proud or embarrassed them, 64 percent of voters in Michigan and Wisconsin say they’ve been embarrassed, while 63 percent say that in Pennsylvania.
