I think it's hugely significant.

And one thing that's my inference from looking at the polling is it's very hard to get people to change their priors.

If you voted for Trump, you're very hesitant to say I made a mistake.

So we're not seeing a lot of defections when we ask people, did you vote for Trump and do you approve of him?

People kind of are sticking with him.

But when we ask which party is

is better on handling the economy.

That's where I think people are taking out their unhappiness.

And a cushion that Republicans used to have as the party seen as better able to handle these issues, particularly economic issues, is eroding.

So I have to infer that some of these people who say, well, I still like Trump, are also saying, I don't quite trust the Republican Party anymore on the economy.

And if Republicans are losing on the economy, one of their top issues,

that's a pretty bad sign.
