WaPo/ABC (vs. Sept.)

Approve: 37% (-2) (strong: 25%)
Disapprove: 59% (+2) (strong: 50%)

He was at 36% approval in July, but this is a new high for disapproval. Needless to say, this is the worst result of any president in his first year in history.

Wow...strongly disapprove @ 50%. That's the highest I've seen yet.

Wow, Trump 51-43 in approval in a state he won by 18 points. Great poll for him.

I ask nicely can you please troll better. Thank you.

Anyways, 8 points is horrible for Trump, lol.

At this point, it wouldn't surprise me if he is underwater (or at least very close to it) in MS at the moment.

The tweet reads: "Trump Job Approval in the South vs. his 2016 result in parentheses:
AR- 48% (61%)
LA- 48% (58%)
MS- 51% (58%)
AL- 53% (62%)
GA- 47% (50%)
SC- 51% (55%)
FL- 42% (49%)
NC- 43% (52%)
VA- 39% (44%)
WV- 59% (68%)
KY- 50% (63%)
MO- 48% (56%)
TX- 45% (52%)
OK- 56% (65%)
TN- 51% (61%)"

I don't know what he's sourcing or if there's any new info here, however I would like to point out that GA only has a paltry 3% shift away from Trump while TX shifted away by 7% and AR did by 13%

Bad numbers. Some of these states are some of the most inelastic in the nation. Could produce some really interesting results in the next couple of years.

Gallup, 12/26 (change from 12/23 -- no polling on 12/24-25)

Approve 38 (-1)
Disapprove 56 (+1)

I'm loving this tax reform bump.

Yes, but it's supposed to be a balance.  The weight of a number of votes in heavily populated states vs people's wants getting ignored in sparsely populated ones.  If we were on pure vote count, why should people in Wyoming or Delaware or Rhode Island even bother voting in a national election? The electoral college isn't perfect and maybe we could tweak it some, but it's still better than just a raw count.

Every other Western democracy uses popular vote and they are doing just fine, thank you.

And to add to this, individual states here in this nation are using the popular vote as well.
