President Trump’s approval rating in all 50 states and the District of Columbia has dropped in the months since he took the oath of office, according to a new poll.
According to the survey from Morning Consult, which tracked Trump’s approval ratings from January to September, the president’s net approval rating has seen dips from a high of 30 percentage points in Illinois and New York, to a low of 11 percentage points in Louisiana.
Trump has also seen his approval rating drop in states he won handily in the 2016 election, including Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, Kansas, and Indiana. In Tennessee, the president’s net approval rating fell 23 points, and in Indiana it fell 17 points.
In 25 states and the District of Columbia, more than half of voters said in September they disapprove of the job the president is doing. In Michigan, for example, 55 percent of voters said they disapprove of Trump’s job performance. In Wisconsin and Iowa, 53 percent said they disapprove, and 51 percent of voters in Pennsylvania disapproved of Trump’s job performance.
By contrast, the majority of voters in 12 states, which Trump won in 2016, approve of the job he is doing as president, though his net approval has fallen since January. Those states include Wyoming and West Virginia, where 60 percent and 59 percent of voters, respectively, approved.
Additionally, Trump retained support among voters in Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, and South Carolina.
Overall, the president’s net approval rating dropped from January to September. At the start of his presidency, 49 percent of voters approved of Trump’s job performance, but in September that fell to 43 percent.
Thirty-nine percent of voters disapproved of Trump’s job performance in January, but that rose to 52 percent in September.
Morning Consult polled 472,032 voters across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, from Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20 to Sept. 26.
