Overview
- Harry Enten of CNN reported on-air that recent polling averages show working-class voters turning away from President Trump.
- Enten said Trump carried voters making under $50,000 by 2 points in 2024, yet now sits at about minus 24 net approval with that group.
- He described a 26-point swing in this bloc, based on a blend of several recent national polls.
- Enten attributed the drop to pocketbook strain, pointing to higher gas prices, tariffs, and the war as drivers of frustration.
- He added that Trump’s standing on the economy with these voters is now roughly 31 points underwater, which outlets say could cloud GOP prospects in 2026.
