The NPR Politics Podcast · Why these swing voters say they’re frustrated with Trump · 22 Jan 2026 podcast

How are these people feeling about the two parties right now, Mara?

Panicked.

Sensitive.

Bewildered.

Outspoken.

Immoral.

Yeah, totally.

And I mean, gosh, I mean, I'm so excited to hear from these people all year.

I'm like chomping at the bit to hear about each individual issue.

I guess give us some big picture thoughts on that, on what is happening in the world right now.

What were your guys' takeaways?

Yeah, I feel like that's less that would have been less surprising to hear in a focus group in 2017 after people had first voted for him.

But these are people who've been experiencing the Donald Trump experience for 10 years.

And they're still like, gosh, I wish that he would talk about these issues with a little bit more tact, I guess it sounds like.

I do want to drill down on immigration is one of the things that I really am interested to hear about this group of voters, because this feels like one of the defining policies of the second Trump term.

How did this group of swing voters talk about it?

I should also note that we're going to be referring to these voters by their first names.

That's part of the agreement that they signed when they signed up to do this focus group.

Well, it seems the recent shooting of Renee Macklin Good, it felt like in the moment that that potentially could be one of these turning point moments on a key issue ahead of midterms.

One thing that really struck me in these results from this focus group is that most of the people did not connect the shooting to Trump, even though, you know, obviously the president has really owned immigration and increased immigration enforcement and the shooting was done by an ICE officer.
