"Trump is underwater in every major swing state on Labor Day, with deficits widening in several battlegrounds.

Kentucky, Ohio, Texas and Nevada have all seen declines of more than 25 points since the start of Trump's second term.

Only three states still give Trump a double-digit positive net approval rating.

Every Major Battleground State Is Underwater
The most politically important trend remains Trump's standing in the states likely to determine control of Congress.

Arizona: -18
Florida: -13
Georgia: -25
Nevada: -25
North Carolina: -18
Ohio: -19
Pennsylvania: -20
Wisconsin: -19

Florida has moved from +9 to -13. Ohio has fallen from +8 to -19. Nevada has shifted from 0 to -25. North Carolina has dropped from 0 to -18."

Those states remain positive, but each has moved significantly lower since January 2025.

Wyoming has fallen from +47 to +15. West Virginia has declined from +35 to +13. North Dakota has slipped from +34 to +10.

Even in states where Trump remains above water, much of the cushion that existed at the start of his term has disappeared. ...
