Poll: Trump sees low support for reelection in key states

Only about a third of voters in Arizona, Florida and Ohio say President Trump deserves to be reelected, according to an NBC News and Marist College poll published Wednesday. 

In Arizona, a state Trump won by 4 points in 2016, 35 percent of those surveyed said the president should be reelected, while 57 percent disagreed.

The poll also found that only 41 percent approved of the job the president is doing, while 47 percent disapproved.
