Morning Consult has an interactive graphic that tracks the sitting president’s approval ratings by state over time. Even Wyoming has dropped by double digits since January 2017. Pennsylvania: -17; Michigan: -17; Wisconsin: -19.
Dave Weigel snarks, “This map, however, focuses on states, and not on blue collar diners — a common mistake.”
Donald Trump’s control over voters has slipped, as has his grip on his cover-up and on reality, Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested Thursday.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi says President Trump "pulled a stunt" at the infrastructure meeting because of courts ruling in Democrats' favor in getting Trump's finances.

“Now this time, another temper tantrum,” Pelosi said. “I wish that his family or his staff would have an intervention for the good of the country.”

To use a boxing analogy, Pelosi thinks she has opened a cut over Trump’s eye. She’s “working” the eye.
