When the Democrats lose New York, the Republicans have a real chance of taking back the White House

New York Times (NY) – March 12, 2018 – President Donald J. Trump’s approval rating is below 40 percent in his home state of New York and the party has a real shot at taking back control of the White Houses Senate and House, according to a poll released Tuesday by the nonpartisan Quinnipiac University.

The poll found that 43 percent of registered voters nationwide approved of Mr. Trump, while 45 percent disapproved.
