Ron Brownstein: In 2024, Trump improved his performance among some big voting blocs that have historically favored Democrats, including Latinos, younger men, non-White voters without a college degree, and, to some extent, Black men. Trumps advances generated exuberant predictions from an array of right-leaning analysts that he had achieved a lasting realignment and cemented the GOPs hold on voters of all races without a college degree.
But the flurry of polls 100 days into Trumps second term suggests that cement has not hardened as much as some allies anticipated. Across multiple surveys, Trumps overall job approval rating has fallen below his 2024 vote share with these key groups, and they are consistently giving him even lower marks for his handling of the economy, particularly inflation.

There is regression analysis that says financial anxiety results in passion vs. reason thinking.
