They disapprove of his handling of the federal government spending.
They disapprove of the big
beautiful bill.
They disapprove of his foreign policy on Israel and Ukraine and Venezuela.
There's no shortage of explanations.
There are only a very small number of bright spots for Trump in this poll.
And I would say his handling of the border is really the only unequivocal strong point here.
I do think that the poll suggests that of all of those things, that the economy is still the single most important reason why Donald Trump has lost ground.
That's partly because he
many of his worst numbers are on the economy.
And it's partly because when you really dig into the attitudes of the individual voters who say that they no longer support him, those voters are really unusually likely to say that the economy and affordability is the biggest problem facing the country.
I think that's right.
Now, again, Donald Trump is unpopular on almost every issue we asked about.
It's possible that if the economy was fine, they'd still be upset at him over his handling of ICE, for instance.
What we know, though, is that these voters say that the economy is the biggest problem facing the country.
44% of the Trump defectors cite economic issues compared with 24% of other voters.
And we know that they give him really negative marks on his handling of the economy, even though that used to be one of his greatest strengths.
So to me, the economy looks like the most straightforward, central explanation for why these voters swing back against Donald Trump in our poll, even though there are undoubtedly other factors as well.
How far down the affordability rabbit hole do you want to go here, by the way?
Well, standing on the outside of the hole for a second, I mean, I think that most people say that he just hasn't made the country more affordable.
