Map shows how much Trump's approval ratings have changed in each state since he took office

By Andy Kiersz at Business Insider

"SNIP.....


By this past December, Trump's net approval rating had declined in every state and the District of Columbia. Drops in net approval ranged from a modest 6 percentage points in South Dakota to a massive 36-point swing against the president in New Mexico.

......


Trump's approval rating was underwater in 29 states and the District, including every state won by Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. Further, Trump had negative net approval ratings across the Midwestern swing states of Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania as well as in the southern battlegrounds of Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.

Trump's approval ratings even saw modest declines across several regions of the country since Morning Consult's November 2018 release, with a fall in net approval in all but seven states. It's worth noting, however, that most of the changes since November were small and could be the result of normal statistical sampling error.

if you add up the electoral votes in all the states he has a positive rating: 164
Add in states where his approval is 0% to -10%: 130

Add that up and it is 294. 270 needed to win.

So basically if you assume the Dem wins every state where drumpf net approval is already greater than -10%, that is 244 EVs already. Just need to secure 26 more from that batch of 130 EVs that ALREADY don't like drumpf.

tampering will be huge. Everyone will be vigilant about the elections. Everyone on the left that is.

Map colors are backwards. Should be:
Blue -- disapproved by patriots, good, cool
Red -- approved by Russia, Republican, bad, DANGER
