They want the Republican Party to be laissez-faire, hands-off capitalism, and supportive capitalism is plunging.

Gallup's got it down to only 54% favorable opinion of capitalism right now.

Democrats overwhelmingly want economic populism, 67 to only 21%.

and independence, 50 to only 33%.

18 to 29-year-olds, overwhelmingly, 63% agree.

More economic populism, only 24% disagree.

And believe it or not, there's a pretty strong, across all age spectrum, a majority of everybody agrees with this, even the boomers.

And women, slightly more than... Yeah, men and women are about the same.

So then this next question is the problem for the Republican Party.

Which party...

is the party of economic populism.

And you can say, well, Donald Trump's in charge now, and people agree that the Republican Party is the party of Trump and the Make America Great Again movement.

But unfortunately, the Republicans are a drag on Trump's agenda because Democrats are perceived to be the party of economic populism, 46% to only 26%, only 26%.

Now, the good news is that 18 to 29s are roughly split, 35 to 33.

So they're willing to give Republicans a chance on this.

But everybody else disagrees, especially voters over 50.

They're like, nope, Republicans are not the party of economic populism, only 20%.

And Republicans themselves, only 46% say yes, 31% say Democrats.

And independents say Democrats 41%.

And so I don't think they're going to be able to run away from this.
