Pennsylvania, a state that helped put President Donald Trump in the White House, isn’t too keen on the president’s tariff push, a new NBC News/Marist poll finds, as a near majority fears that the ongoing trade war will ultimately damage the U.S. economy.
Forty-five percent of Pennsylvania adults believe that tariffs and other import barriers will raise costs of consumer goods and hurt the country’s economy. By comparison, 27 percent believe they will protect American jobs and help the economy.
The administration’s trade policy is unpopular across virtually all demographic groups in the NBC/Marist poll — the only groups where a majority supports the tariffs are self-identified Republicans and Trump supporters.
Trump’s job approval rating among adults in the state stands at 38 percent, with 52 percent disapproving of his job performance. Among registered voters, 37 percent approve of Trump’s job and 53 percent disapprove.
This is a slight uptick from his marks in the last NBC/Marist poll of the state from last August, when just 33 percent of adults and 35 percent of voters approved of his job performance.
Trump’s highest marks come from Republicans (80 percent approval), white evangelicals (59 percent), rural adults (58 percent) and whites without college degrees (49 percent).
But he fares poorly with African Americans (90 percent disapprove), adults between the ages of 18 and 29 (66 percent disapprove), white college graduates (60 percent disapprove), and women (59 percent disapprove).
Just 10 percent of Philadelphians approve of Trump, and things aren’t much better in the suburbs, where Trump has a 30 percent approval rating and a 64 percent disapproval mark.
Support for Trump is higher in the central and western part of the state, where pluralities approve of his job performance.

Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf and Democratic Sen. Bob Casey are both sitting comfortably ahead of their Republican opponents in NBC/Marist’s new poll.
okey dokey
Coal mines opening...steel plant opening...no gun control..

How heavy did they oversample Dems?
No they don’t. They asked the wrong people or made up bull shit.

I hit 7 categories of their poll.
There are lies, damn lies and statistics.
Looks like a poll of adults. Total propaganda.
RE: How heavy did they oversample Dems?
I really don’t know.
At the end of the article, they said this:
The survey of 825 adults (713 registered voters) was conducted Aug. 12-16, 2018. The margin of error for all adults is +/- 3.9 percentage points. The margin of error for registered voters is +/- 4.2 percentage points.
Why do they keep misspelling “NBC/Marxist”?
Strange, both races were within two points in a different poll I saw the other day. I really believe nothing NBC posts.
I’m betting on the later...
Clearly the NBC commies did not fairly include any Pennesylvanians associated with manufacturing...
Nothing
But
Crap
Can’t wait for the ABC and CBS
1.BC on the African American support, a guy in my congregation says that It’s like 35 percent now. Second, disapproval only at 52 percent in a fixed poll. Not bad.
I don’t believe it either. As a key component of the industrial heart of America, Pennsylvania has too much to gain from America First policy.
