President Donald Trump’s popularity in Oklahoma may be waning.

The Morning Consult, which maintains a 50-state tracking poll of presidential approval ratings, said last week that Trump’s net approval in Oklahoma declined 6 points from July to August and is 25 points lower than at the time of his inauguration in January 2017.

Even so, Trump’s net approval rating is still plus-9, 11th highest for the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Trump’s approval rating has dropped from 61 percent to 53 percent since he took office, while the share disapproving has jumped from 27 percent to 44 percent.

Trump is most popular in Wyoming (65 percent approval) and least popular in the District of Columbia (17 percent, almost half the next-lowest rating).

Campaigns and elections: The Oklahoma Academy announced it will hold a gubernatorial debate involving Republican Kevin Stitt, Democrat Drew Edmondson and Libertarian Chris Powell at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 23 at the Oklahoma State University-Tulsa auditorium.

The academy has also scheduled a debate for Oct. 18 at the University of Oklahoma, but that one will involve only Edmondson and Powell.
