Only about one-third of voters in three Midwest states — two of which helped President Trump win the 2016 election — want Trump re-elected, three new NBC News/Marist polls released Wednesday found.
In Michigan, 28 percent believe Trump deserves a second term. Sixty-two percent think someone else should be elected.
In Wisconsin, 31 percent want Trump to win re-election in 2020, while 63 percent disagree.
In Minnesota, 30 percent of voters want Trump to remain in the White House and 60 percent say he shouldn’t be re-elected.
Wisconsin and Michigan were key states in Trump’s election win against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016. Trump came close to turning Minnesota red.
Trump’s job approval ratings in the three states aren’t much higher.
In Michigan, Trump has a job approval rating of 36 percent, while 54 percent disapprove. Thirty-six percent of voters in Wisconsin approve of the president’s job, and 52 percent disapprove. In Minnesota, 38 percent approve and 51 percent disapprove.
The poll also found Democrats have an advantage in congressional preference in the three states.
In Michigan, 45 percent of voters want Democrats to control Congress and 36 percent want Republicans to maintain the majority. Minnesota voters favored Democrats over Republicans by 12 points, 48 percent to 36 percent. And in Wisconsin, Democrats had an 8-point advantage, 47 percent to 39 percent.

In Minnesota the margin of error for the 876 registered voters is plus or minus 4 percentage points. The margin of error of the 906 registered voters in Wisconsin is plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.
