Trump, who endorsed the controversial Moore, looms large. He held only 36 and 40 percent job approval ratings among voters in New Jersey and Virginia’s gubernatorial elections in November, both won by Democrats, and he’s at about 37 percent nationally in recent polls, a historic low. Among Alabama voters today, by contrast, his approval stands at 48 percent in preliminary exit poll results. CONT.
