MIDDLE SEAT
Rochester City Councilwoman Ann Peterson is featured in a recurring feature in Bloomberg News’ Politics section tracking eight Middle America voters from four states that helped swing the 2016 election. Peterson, who said Bloomberg got in touch with her because of her involvement in the Trump campaign in Michigan, was asked to rate Trump and his performance at various times of the year. As of late May, Peterson gave the president a 10/10 overall rating. Bloomberg asked Peterson her feelings before and after she attended Trump’s inauguration in January, his grade on his first 100 days, Comey’s firing and the Russia investigation. In assessments in January, February and April, Peterson rated Trump 8/10, with 10/10 three times in May. The story, she said in August, is scheduled to be updated soon, with a new round of ratings and questions from Bloomberg.
