Summary

A new memo from Trump’s 2024 pollster, Tony Fabrizio, warns that economic discontent in swing districts could hurt Republicans.

The poll finds that 59% of voters in 18 competitive House districts worry about their finances, and Democrats lead by five points in the generic ballot.

Voters overwhelmingly support extending Affordable Care Act subsidies and oppose corporate tax cuts, while Trump’s approval is slightly underwater.

The memo warns that prioritizing corporate tax cuts and Medicaid/food stamp reductions could be politically damaging, but Republicans are likely to ignore this advice.

    Get ready for more anti immigration and anti trans rhetoric in the media, more distractions to focus on instead.

    When Bush was underwater they just invaded Iraq and boom, polling shot back up.

      Yup.

      They are realizing the impact too late. Democracy is fragile and they just gave him a sledge hammer to hit it with.

        It’s been like this for 40 years? 60 years? In the US.

        It’s every election, every time. It’s time to wake up America!

    I have a feeling before midterms we will get 1000 buck inflation reduction check signed by Trump or we will have a terrorist attack that will rally the Republicans

    I wonder how long this pollster will stay employed.

      That’s assuming they’re still employed at the time of writing your comment.
