Trump Has Lost Working Class White Voters
March 17, 2026 at 8:17 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

G. Elliot Morris: “In our data, this group recalled voting for Trump by 22 points in 2024. But these voters now give him a net approval of -4 — or a 26-point swing against him.”

“The working-class whites who powered Trump’s rise are, for the first time, opposed to how he’s handling his job as president.”
