And the question, right, was always how durable is that shift?

Was this change in the political landscape permanent or was it just a flash in the pan?

Was it just a reaction to Biden?

And it sounds like we have some information about that now.

Fascinating.

You're saying basically he lost ground with the people that he won over.

What do we know about why?

So is it fair to say that those switchers, they went to Trump in 2024 because of the economy, and now you see them moving away from him, turning away from Trump because of the economy?

And what about the handling of the economy are these voters so frustrated with?

Like, what's their specific beef?

Let's go all the way.

Maybe a reference to the kind of complaint or the criticism of Trump for spending so much time abroad, you know, building the ballroom, being out of touch.

Wow.

I want to break down exactly what we're talking about here and what people mean when they say they're worried about affordability.

What does the poll tell us about that, Nate?

What you're describing is this kind of deeper worry.

People obviously don't like that things that they have to buy on a daily basis are so expensive that they can buy less.

But the thing really on people's minds, it sounds like, especially middle class people's minds, are these long-term kind of life prospect level concerns.

Yeah.

It does strike me, though, Nate, that there was just no way that any president was going to solve those concerns in a single year, right?
