There's one voter that I want to highlight, Kimberly.

She's an independent voter.

She is one of the many voters who said that this is one place where they do squarely blame Trump for how they feel.

And in particular, she feels like Trump is not doing enough to address the concerns of working class people.

And she even went on at one point to say that, you know, him focusing so much on political adversaries was another area where she's like, what is he doing?

I want him to focus on, you know, pocketbook issues, you know, the economy, the things that I voted for him to solve.

However, you would think with those kind of numbers, you would hear someone at least being, I don't know, Democrat curious or something.

I did not get a sense of that, but I didn't hear that they were feeling any sort of remorse for their vote for Trump, for the exception of maybe two people who said that they kind of wish they voted for Kamala Harris during the 2024 election.

They also feel a lot of frustration towards the Democrats, which we heard yesterday.

Why these swing voters say they’re frustrated with Trump

In the beginning, you know, even though Trump is not doing what they want, I think a lot of them said even when it comes to the economy, they're willing to wait and see.
