In the fall, Morning Consult released the results of their aggregate 2017 Trump Approval Poll interviews by state. Now Gallup has done the same thing. In the attached article you can find their average Trump approval for every state. The national average was 38% with the high being West Virginia at 61% and Vermont the lowest at 26%. Trump approval was over 50% in three states where Democratic Senators are seeking re-election; Montana, North Dakota and West Virginia.
Well, I guess Hillary is a shoe-in for the election then?
Yeah, we all underestimated how many gullible people were in America, didn't we ? When they talk about the dumbing down of America, right there is your perfect example.

Altogether, Trump received approval ratings above his 38% national average in 33 states and below it in 17.
The imbalance reflects the fact that the bottom group includes some of the most populous states in the nation, particularly California, New York and Illinois.
there is no doubt trump is disliked in the deep blue, populous states and that won't change....ever. these progressive states will always pull his approval ratings down.
the 2018 midterms will depend on how well republican politicians can stay on message about the economy, infrastructure, and safety vs the hysteria messages perpetuated by the Leftist politicians that the president is literally hitler and causing "Armageddon".
"The accuracy of a poll depends on how it was conducted. Most of Pew Research’s polling is done by telephone. By contrast, most online polls that use participants who volunteer to take part do not have a proven record of accuracy. There are at least two reasons for this. One is that not everyone in the U.S. uses the internet, and those who do not are demographically different from the rest of the public. Another reason is that people who volunteer for polls may be different from other people in ways that could make the poll unrepresentative. At worst, online polls can be seriously biased if people who hold a particular point of view are more motivated to participate than those with a different point of view."
So, this poll, although providing warm fuzzies for the anti-Trumps is most likely worthless. It would do those good that constantly post polls to actually learn a little about how polls/surveys work, what makes them more or less accurate, etc.
I think this may give false hope, just like the polls that said Hillary would be elected POTUS. The continuing disaster encompassing those that supported Hillary, and are unable to heal their wounds from her loss, when they were "promised" she would win...........

no doubt those numbers are not positive news for trump, bureaucat. the midterms could result in a shift to democrats, especially in the house. dem voters are fired up more than republican voters, too.
but, trump's countrywide approval numbers are never going to be high due to populous, progressive states that give him very low scores.
