Trumps's trade "policies" are hurting him exactly where you would expect them to:

In March, 40 percent of people in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Pennsylvania voiced approval for the president’s handling of trade, down from 45 percent in January 2018 and the 49 percent approval rating he enjoyed a year ago.

While Republicans in the region still overwhelmingly support the president, approval on trade issues dropped sharply from 86 percent in January to 74 percent in March. Trump enjoyed an 81 percent approval rating among Republicans in the region in early 2017.

Approval of Trump’s stance on trade slipped over the past year throughout the U.S. Plains as the administration’s tariffs on steel and aluminum imports weighed on the agricultural sector.

Forty-seven percent of people in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota said in March they approve of the president’s handling of international trade, down from 54 percent a year before.

Approval inched back to 50 percent in February 2018, but it slipped again in March to 47 percent - signaling a potential downward trend since Trump announced tariffs last month.

And the overall approval rating is trending back down...again

When your "policies" hurt the very people who voted for you...it is no wonder your poll numbers suck...when you lost the majority vote and won the slimmest electoral victory in recent memory...it is no wonder Rs everywhere are "retiring"...there are no coat tails to run on...only tweets and incomprehensible policies to run away from.
