Minority Voters Pull Back from Trump

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. Trump’s advances generated exuberant predictions from an array of right-leaning analysts that he had achieved a lasting realignment and cemented the GOP’s hold on voters of all races without a college degree.”

“But the flurry of polls 100 days into Trump’s second term suggests that cement has not hardened as much as some allies anticipated. Across multiple surveys, Trump’s 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.”

and start voting with passion. The working class and middle class were put into financial anxiety by 45 years of Reaganism and young people were put in it by high rents and expensive mortgages and student loans. Was a movement conservative plan and worked like a charm.

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

the same reason. Fortunately there were enough older people and Quebecers to give the Liberals a win in our recent election.
