Thirteen have a majority that approves. Which means that 37 do not. You'd think that THAT would be the headline.
In the sixteen states that are most critical of the President, 38 percent or less approve of O'bummer's performance. Wouldn't THAT be a good headline too?
BTW, the actual number of states approving of the President is TWELVE. See the chart below. I guess the article's author can't count... or thinks that Minnesota's 50/50 constitutes majority approval.
