No state dislikes Trump's job performance more than Massachussetts

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Note to Alan Dershowitz: The aversion to Donald Trump goes well beyond Martha’s Vineyard.

Massachusetts ranks first in the nation for its dislike of the president’s job performance, a poll released Tuesday found.

The Morning Consult survey polled all 50 states individually and found that in Massachusetts, only 35 percent of residents approved of the job Trump is doing as president, while 62 percent disapproved. The difference in those two numbers makes up what pollsters call a net approval rating, which locally is a negative 27 percent.

Vermont comes in second with a negative 24 percent net approval while California, Hawaii, and Washington state all gave Trump a negative 23 percent net approval rating. Rhode Island residents gave Trump a negative 21 percent net rating.

I suppose it's not a coincidence that we also have the best educational system in the country.

Baker was elected in 2014 and will be in a primary on Sept 4th.

Massachusetts' GOP governor avoids liberal backlash to Trump, eyes re-election

snip//

Charlie Baker is an anomaly: A Republican governor in a deep blue state, a favorite for re-election in a cycle favoring Democrats and a popular GOP figure in a region where President Trump has no coattails.

Yet the Massachusetts governor is showing that Republicans can survive – and thrive – in Democratic strongholds, in part by carving a moderate agenda and studiously avoiding the national political circus.

“Governor Baker is widely and correctly perceived as a steady, competent manager of the state's affairs, and by nature one of the least polarizing figures in politics,” said Bill Nancarrow, a history professor at Curry College in Milton, Mass.

By one measure, Baker is the most popular governor in the country -- with Morning Consult’s rankings showing Baker enjoying support from two-thirds of state residents. That his popularity has held is notable. The incumbent won in 2014 amid a Republican wave, but his re-election bid comes as Trump doesn’t even have the support of one-third of Massachusetts voters.

So, an anomaly.

6. It's weird to me the affection these heavily Democratic New England states have

For moderate Republicans. Vermont, Maryland and Massachussetts are only a few, but seeing as how unpopular the head of their party is in those states, it is incredible (in a bad way) those candidates are still doing well :

8. Not all that "heavily Democratic" anywhere in the Northeast.

Nor are there legions of "rock ribbed Conservatives", for that matter. There are pockets of extremists of all sorts around, like everywhere - but we like our moderates!

5. I wonder how much PR loves him

Damn proud of my Washington state
