President Trump's job approval rating in the RealClearPolitics average of polls is 39.9 percent. That's actually up a bit from Trump's (so far) low of 37.4 percent, reached on August 14.
The RCP average, made up of results from the most recent surveys, is a national measure. Trump's ratings in individual states are a different story. According to new SurveyMonkey polling, those ratings range from a high of 59 percent (in Wyoming) to a low of 30 percent (in Massachusetts) and everywhere in between.
Trump's top states in job approval, after Wyoming, are: West Virginia (58 percent); Alabama (56); Arkansas (55); Oklahoma (54); Louisiana (53); South Dakota (53); North Dakota (52); Kentucky (52); Mississippi (52); Idaho (52); Tennessee (51); and Montana (51).
Trump's bottom states in job approval, after Massachusetts, are: Vermont (31 percent); Maryland (31); California (32); Hawaii (33); Washington (33); New York (34); Illinois (34); Rhode Island (35); Connecticut (35).
