If absence makes the heart grow fonder, perhaps its converse is true, too: that proximity makes the heart grow sour.

That’s one explanation for the results of a new SurveyMonkey poll, which show that District residents have, by far, the lowest rating of President Donald Trump around the country. While Trunp’s national job approval rating stands at 40 percent, in D.C., only 12 percent approve of his work at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW.

To be fair to Trump, though, that number is about three times higher than the percentage of residents who voted for him in November.

Also, here’s the necessary caveat that D.C. is a federal city, rather than a state, so drawing direct comparisons can be misleading. But D.C. also has a higher population than two states (and three electoral college votes, thank you very much), so it’s worth getting a sense of how we feel, at the very least. SurveyMonkey interviewed at least 500 people in the District.

Even Massachusetts, the state with the lowest approval rating of Trump, has 30 percent of those surveyed approving of the job Trump is doing, versus 69 percent disapproving.

Kind of makes sense that senior White House advisors and first family members Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner feel like D.C. “punctures their self-esteem on a daily basis.”

In addition to D.C., 10 states have Trump’s approval at lower than 35 percent: Massachusetts, Vermont, Maryland, California, Hawaii, Washington, New York, Illinois, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.

Trump can find populations where more than half the people polled approve of him in 13 states: Wyoming (the highest at 59 percent approval), West Virginia, Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Kentucky, Mississippi, Idaho, Tennessee, and Montana.
