Trump’s swing state approval ratings are getting worse
Iowa is turning into a major problem for Trump as his trade war is backfiring and farmers in the state are getting economically pummeled by tariffs. Trump’s net approval has gone from (-8) to (-12) in a month. In Wisconsin, Trump’s net approval rating has gone from (-10) to (-13). In Michigan, Trump has dropped from a net (-10) to a (-12). In North Carolina, Trump’s net approval has gone from a (-2) to a (-4), and importantly, Trump’s trip to Pennsylvania didn’t matter has his net approval remains at (-7).
