    1. Wisconsin being basically the same as Texas makes me ashamed for Wisconsin and proud for Texas.

      I’m conflicted as a WI resident.

    2. I think the color scale is weird. You’ve picked 36 as the neutral color. I think it would have made more sense to pick 50 as the neutral color.

      The color scale makes this graphic deceptive.

      a 50% approval (Utah) is solid red, while 35% approval (Colorado) basically appears to be the neutral color.

      how often are state based approval ratings polled/ I am not sure what Civiqs is, but i doubt they are paying for that many polls. regularly doing 50 polls like that will be expensive. i would not trust this is current or accurate data. several pollsters do national approval polls.

      How are there still so many people… That’s still over 100 million people thinking: hey man, good job.

      Sticking to the presentation, I don’t like the colors here. First, red and blue should be reserved for directly partisan numbers IMO, and this isn’t really even red which kind of makes it worse.

      More importantly, setting the gradient from the min and max data points makes the coloration arbitrary, and would prevent proper comparison to a past or future map with the same methodology. If it’s a 100-pecent scale the gradient should cover that range, or at least be centered on 50.

      Finally, like all color-by-state maps, the visual takeaway can be very misleading both because population density is so different between states and because states aren’t homogeneous. I don’t think the border between Minnesota and North Dakota is the hot zone one might expect from this picture, for example.b

      So 11 states with a net positive of +2 to +8, 3 states with a tie and 36 states with a net negative of -1 to -72. Wow. He’s even losing the Electoral College of Approvals in a landslide.

      I’d say USA is pretty happy with how Trump is handling his job. /s

      I also love that you selected a divergent scale of color where a smaller rate of consensus is actually perceived as less problematic then a higher one.

    9. That „45“ sitting over Florida and Texas makes me smile. Especially since they gerrymandered Texas based on the 2024 Latino vote going the same way forever

    10. Imagine what it would take? Over 50%? Does he have to enslave everyone? Dump everyone i to a shallow grave? Like, what are they thinking??? It is already a hellscape!

      Should the title at the top say “National average: 36%” rather than “-36%”?

      Crazy to see Georgia being more rational than Pennsylvania. I feel like PA had gone farther right over the last 2 decades and GA left

    13. The polls show he is doing better than every president, ever. Nobody has polls like him. He’s got great, beautiful polls. Why, just the other day he polled his cabinet and he aced it with a 500% approval rating. Maybe it was 600%.

    14. I can’t tell if the map is purposedly dishonest with its color palette centered at 36 or if it’s just not well thought. First look I thought a majority of the central states were approving job policies… which is clearly not the case.

    15. This would be more informative if it was scaled again the margin in the general elections

    16. One criticism and one suggestion.

      Criticism: The subtitle says „National average:- 36%“

      Why is there a „-“ before the „36%“? That makes it look full rejection could be 100%, rather than 0%. I think you should remove „-“ from the subtitle.

      Suggestion: Comparing this to approval of people who voted in the 2024 general election would be really informative and add another layer of context. I believe Trump’s approval rating is lower in most states with just 2024 voters than the general public. And those are the people that are most likely to vote again.

      This map proves that Atlanta is the most progressive place of all the former confederate states. Georgia would be red if it wasn’t for Atlanta.

    18. Interesting how range and color palette choice affects interpretation. Looking over this without paying attention to numbers, it looks overall okay for Trump. Then, I notice that the mid-point (white) is around 35% approval rating! If you set the range to 0 to 100, it would be so much bluer.

      Ooh ooh ohh!

      Now pair this map up with the average education level in the state!

    20. Interesting how the states closer to the Mexican border have higher approval rates. Also, why is high approval rate marked as red on the map? Seems counterintuitive unless you’re trying to imply that approval = Republican
