But that's going to be the big battle in the midterms to say whether this is Trump's economy or Biden's economy.

One of my takeaways was how much all these things get conflated.

The economy, immigration, foreign policy kind of adds up to chaos and anxiety for voters.

Here's one voter named Nancy who explained how all this makes her feel.

We didn't ask them if they were surprised.

They just don't like it.

Just because you voted for Trump doesn't mean you like every single thing about him.

And that's what these voters were telling us, that they like certain things.

This is about prices, not the rate of inflation.

This is about people's everyday lives.

And even though, yes, the stock market is good, GDP is good, but they're having to pay more, as they told us, for housing, health care, groceries.

The short answer is no.

Very, very few.

I think maybe only one person in this focus group said they wish they'd vote for Kamala Harris.

So they're not so much regretting their vote for Trump as they are reconsidering

their support for him, as swing voters do.

And even though the Democratic Party gets bad marks, as it does in national polling,

The thing about midterm elections is they're generally a referendum on the party in power.

They're not a binary choice between Republican and Democrat.

They're a referendum on the president and his party.
