Trump's job approval is now unders 50% EVEN IN THE SOUTH, where he's most popular

I'm guessing his internal polling was showing the same thing, which is why he's now apparently running to be the second president of the Confederacy.

From Gallup:


https://news.gallup.com/poll/313454/trump-job-approval-rating-steady-lower-level.aspx


Region -- January to early May -- Late May to June -- Change

East -- 40 -- 27 -- -13
Midwest -- 51 -- 40 -- -11
South -- 53 -- 48 -- -5
West -- 41 -- 35 -- -6



He desperately needs those Southern states. Even with them, he has little hope of winning. But he has zero chance without them.

Still unbelievable that anyone would approve of him. You would have to be a total moron! I know, I know, I'm being rhetorical.

Put all those traits together in one person though, and he's doing just great with southern white ignorant men. Woohoo - that must be so comforting.

They still have him with a 57 percent approval rating among whites with no college degree, and that's down 9 percentage points from January.

That is the only demographic group shown with a percentage higher than 50.

Greene signs. Of course I live in the reddest part of North Georgia, District 14 where a candidate like Marjorie Greene will probably get elected, even though GOP members in US & GA are distancing themselves from her.

Those states are not sensible and not winnable, unless you include Florida and outside chance Georgia.

The Midwestern slide from 51 to 40 is encouraging and vital. He was always being propped up there via approval rating that could have allowed him to steal those same states again.

According to the latest polling, Biden is doing better in North Carolina than he is in Ohio
And from my perspective, North Carolina is more important than Ohio because there is a senate race that is very tight
