The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) figures reveal that the unemployment rate in a number of red states have started to rise. CNBC also reports that the most recent Morning Consult poll finds that Trump is losing ground in some of these states (see chart).

QUOTE:

“… more people in Arizona and North Carolina disapprove of his job as president than approve, according to the latest Morning Consult poll.

“North Carolina has 15 electoral votes and Arizona has 11. Moreover, Trump pulled off somewhat narrow victories over Hillary Clinton in each state in the 2016 election — 3.6% in North Carolina and 3.5% in Arizona.”
