Considering states can't levy tariffs and trade barriers upon other states, one can't really ask "which states support protectionism", but you can ask which states have the largest number of people that support protectionism. To my knowledge, there is no state-by-state polling data on this issue, but obviously support for protectionism would be higher in rust-belt states where the perceived negative effects of free trade are the most obvious. Conversely, states with large information/tech sectors (like CA and NY) which have obtained the more visible benefits of free trade would have lower support for protectionism.
