Is that something you see in the poll?

Like, do we know that for sure, that they don't trust Democrats on this?

Wait, how do you square that, Nate, with what you've told us?

It's like people are saying we were in this incredibly deep hole.

We've dug out of that hole a little bit, but we still have a really long way to go.

And I'm not satisfied with where we are.

So on the whole, neither side is making a compelling case to voters that they're going to successfully tackle these huge forces that are just bearing down on people right now economically.

I have to ask, though, Trump does seem to be recognizing that this has become a big problem for him and the party.

He's been proposing these radical solutions to the affordability problems, things like capping credit card interest rates, debt,

banning private equity from buying single-family homes, announcing deals with pharmaceutical companies to lower drug prices.

I think there are a lot of questions about whether he's actually going to be able to do these things.

But do you view that as a potentially helpful push by the president to try to claw back what he's lost on this issue?

And so when you look at the people that this poll focused on, the people who moved to Trump in 2024, who we looked at as part of this realignment, who are now turning away from him largely because of the economy, where do you think of them politically now?

Are they unmoored?

Are they up for grabs?

It does seem like what this poll shows is that the thing that people are most concerned about are these massive issues that are very difficult to solve with campaign promises, you know, with a single year of policy, maybe even with four years of policy.

And so I'm wondering when you look at that, what

What is the Democratic or the Republican Party to make of it?

Like, what do they do in that scenario?

Well, Nate, thank you so much.
