NATIONAL — President Trump will be in New Hampshire Thursday for a reelection rally, just a few days after Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders met with their supporters in the granite state.

  • Are voters in New Hampshire feeling 'Trumpgret?'
  • Some say Trump has helped economy, others not so much
  • Trump to hold reelection rally Thursday in granite state

The state, which Trump lost by about 2,700 votes in 2016, is doing well economically, at least when using broad measures. But beneath the top-line data are clear signs that the prosperity is being unevenly shared, and when the tumult of the Trump presidency is added to the mix, the state’s flinty voters may not be receptive to his appeals.

Small-business owner Chad Johansen voted for Donald Trump in 2016 with the hopes he would help small businesses compete with bigger companies. However, that hasn't happened, and now the 26-year-old owner of NH iPhone Repair feels what he calls "Trumpgret," according to the Associated Press.

Johansen said the president has done little to address health care issues for a small employer, and now the Manchester man remains on edge about how Trump's tariffs could affect his business, which employees fewer than 10 people.

Johansen also told AP that unrelenting news about bigotry and racism in the Trump administration is “a turnoff."

“The president’s supposed to be the face of the United States of America,” said Johansen, who voted for Democrat Barack Obama in 2012. “And supposed to make everyone be proud to be an American and stand up for everyone who is an American. And I don’t feel that President Trump’s doing that. I feel like it’s chaos.”

An August University of New Hampshire Survey Center poll found that 42 percent of New Hampshire adults approve of Trump while 53 percent disapprove, AP reported. The poll also showed that 49 percent approve of Trump’s handling of the economy and 44 percent disapprove.

Trump's visit to the potential swing state today will offer a fresh test of whether people give credit to Trump for the state's economy.

New Hampshire's unemployment rate for May was among the lowest in the nation at 2.4 percent. However, wage growth is significantly below national gains, AP reported. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, average hourly earnings rose only 1.1 percent in NH in 2018, lagging behind the 3 percent gain nationwide.

Some voters say there has been "remarkable growth under President Trump." And when it comes to that growth, Trump should "at least partially, definitely," get credit. 

A 34-year-old tire technician said seeing a raise and a competing job offer is evidence that the "awesome" economy has helped him. 

New Hampshire’s four Electoral College votes are far below that of key swing states like Florida, Wisconsin, and Michigan, but its influence can prove powerful in close election years like 2000 when George W. Bush’s victory in the state gave him the edge needed to win the White House.

According to the site Morning Consult, Trump's net approval in Florida has decreased by 23 percentage points since he took office.

Trump now faces over 20 democratic candidates in the 2020 presidential election.

Nearly half of the candidates have scheduled events this week.

Beto O'Rouke is returning to the campaign trail Thursday with an event in his hometown of El Paso, Texas.

Several others will be in Iowa as their caucus is now just under six months away.
