DONALD TRUMP APPROVAL RATING ABOVE 50 PERCENT IN JUST 17 STATES IN '18, WORTH ONLY 102 ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES

President Donald Trump's approval rating hit or topped 50 percent in 17 states in 2018, according to the results of a recent Gallup survey.

That marked a modest increase compared with the previous year in which Trump hit 50 percent in 12 states.

The president found his strongest 2018 support in the South and Mountain West regions of the country, Gallup found in the survey released last week. States giving Trump the highest approval ratings were West Virginia at 62 percent; Wyoming, 61 percent; North Dakota, 58 percent; Alaska, 56 percent; Mississippi, 56 percent; Alabama, 55 percent; Tennessee, 54 percent; Kentucky, 53 percent; and Arkansas, 53 percent.



Trump's lowest levels of support came mostly from the Northeast. States with the lowest approval ratings were Hawaii, at 26 percent; Vermont, 28 percent; Massachusetts, 29 percent; California, 29 percent; Maryland, 31 percent; New York, 32 percent; Illinois, 35 percent; New Jersey, 35 percent; New Hampshire, 35 percent; Rhode Island, 36 percent; Washington, 36 percent; and Connecticut, 36 percent.

Should Trump win every state that shows an approval rating higher than 50 percent, it would guaranty him 102 electoral votes. The states where his approval rating is below 40 percent account for 201 electoral votes. It takes 270 electoral votes to win the presidency.

"In order to get to the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency, Trump would have to win all but one or two of the states in which his 2018 approval rating was between 41 percent and 49 percent," noted Gallup. "Some of the more challenging states to win from among this group, based on that approval rating, would be Texas," at 41 percent; Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, all at 42 percent; and Arizona and Florida, at 43 percent, according to Gallup.

All Trump needs is to have polling number higher than his Democratic opponent in a number of states -- it does not even need to hit the 50% mark. For example if Trump is at 46% in a state and the Democratic opponent is at 36% -- Trump still wins the EC votes for the state.

The convoluted article you posted (and don't even provide the url source for) is pretty meaningless.

Looks like an electoral college landslide in favor of Trump in 2020.

So what you're saying is his approval rating is much higher than how favorable he was before he was elected.

But the post has much more value when you do it in all CAPS.

Tell us again how many seats the Democrats lost in the Senate in 2018?

Just need the number -- not a lot of B.S. commentary trying to explain how good this was for Democrats.
