Voters are "embarrassed" by President Donald Trump's conduct in three key states that won him the election last year – Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin – where his approval ratings have fallen below 40 percent, according to the latest NBC News/Marist polls.
Nearly two-thirds of voters in those states say Trump has "embarrassed" them (64 percent in Michigan and Wisconsin, 63 percent in Pennsylvania, while just 25 percent say he has "made them proud," according to the report.
Trump was the first Republican presidential candidate to carry those states since the 1980s, winning by a combined 80,000 votes.
The poll results:
- Michigan: 55 percent disapprove of Trump's job performance, including 40 percent who strongly do, compared to just 36 percent approval (a mere 19 percent strongly).
- Pennsylvania: 54 percent disapprove, including 41 percent strongly), compared to 35 percent approval (just 17 percent strongly).
- Wisconsin: 56 percent disapprove, including 42 percent strongly, compared to 34 percent approval (17 percent strongly).
