Red States Are Turning On Trump Amid Rising Unemployment

Red States Are Turning On Trump Amid Rising Unemployment

Key states Arizona and North Carolina have seen rising unemployment, and now Trump has a negative approval rating.

Signs are growing that Trump could lose a red state

CNBC reported:

.But more people in Arizona and North Carolina disapprove of his job as president than approve, according to the latest Morning Consult poll.

North Carolina has 15 electoral votes, and Arizona has 11. Moreover, Trump pulled off somewhat narrow victories over Hillary Clinton in each state in the 2016 election — 3.6% in North Carolina and 3.5% in Arizona.

In Indiana, Nebraska, and Kansas, Trump’s net approval ratings are in the low single digits, according to the Morning Consult poll. The states have a combined 22 electoral votes. Trump won by more comfortable margins in these states — 19% in Indiana, 25% in Nebraska and 20.5% in Kansas.

The odds of Trump losing Kansas, Indiana, or Nebraska are slim. The danger is much higher in Arizona, where Democrats have made inroads for years and look poised to flip the state from red to blue.

Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, and (especially) Arizona are possible flips in the right circumstances. If the economy tanks, those states will be a battleground, IMO.

Minority turnout is key.
