Strange things happen in wave elections -- like Ronald Reagan winning Massachusetts in 1980. Or did Carter lose it? Or did Anderson take enough votes away from Carter...
The Republican Party has done extremely well in the Mountain and Deep South by exploiting identity politics... but at some point the question arises among voters: "What have you done for me?"
This poll is likely an outlier, but I have also noticed shaky approval numbers for the President in Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri -- and especially Texas.
In 2016 the evidence of Trump's eventual win appeared as seeming outliers. No, Trump couldn't possibly be ahead in Michigan or Minnesota. Arkansas obviously will not decide the 2006 Presidential election; there was only one election in which it could have made a difference, and that was 2000.
