WASHINGTON — Just 35 percent of New Jerseyans approve of President Donald Trump’s performance in office. Residents of only six other states think less of him ...

Trump’s low ratings in New Jersey come as no surprise. He threatened to shut down the federal government rather than help fund the Gateway Tunnel project under the Hudson River, and championed a tax law that targeted New Jersey and other high-tax states by capping the federal deduction for state and local taxes.

It's only partisan politics that can account for anybody in this state approving of him.
