It really don't mean anything, since Trump's approval rating was under 50% in Texas just prior to the 2020 and 2024 election.

Yeah, they voted for him.

The approval rating would need to be much lower to translate to votes.

Obama's approval rating was dismal and he was re-elected. Approval ratings are more or less "bitch and moan".....
