Map shows Donald Trump's approval rating in every state after 11 months

The battleground "swing states" " the politically purple states that often decide presidential and congressional elections " continue to spell trouble for Trump. In these competitive states, Trump's approval is underwater across the board.

In Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and North Carolina, disapproval rates outpace approval by margins ranging from -11 percent to -15 percent.

Even in states that Trump carried in the last election, such as North Carolina and Texas, more voters disapprove than approve of him at this stage.
