Where is Donald Trump most popular? Kentucky ranks high on list

Who loves Donald Trump?

Kentuckians.

A 50-state poll out Tuesday from Gallup shows which states give President Trump the highest and lowest approval ratings. The results are based on an average of 2017 ratings.

Tops: Ohio's neighbor West Virginia. At No. 9? Another Ohio neighbor, Kentucky.

The poll shows 51 percent of Kentucky adults approve of Trump's performance, compared to 45 percent who disapprove.

Nationally only 38 percent of American adults approve of Trump's performance. He's least popular in Vermont.

In Ohio - which Trump won by eight percentage points in 2016 - only 45 percent of adults approve of the job he's doing, while 50 percent disapprove, Those numbers jibe with another poll of Ohio voters taken earlier this month.

Trump gives his first State of the Union speech Tuesday night.

Here's the fine print from Gallup:

These results are based on 171,469 Gallup Daily tracking interviews conducted nationally throughout 2017. Gallup interviewed more than 1,000 respondents in 39 states in 2017, and no fewer than 471 in any other state. Each state's sample is weighted to match U.S. Census Bureau demographic parameters for that state's adult population
