Trump's working-class support is waning | Jared Abbott and Dustin Guastella
"Approximately 20% of 2024 Trump voters may not vote Republican in 2028, indicating a significant potential loss of support for the party. Almost 57% of voters who switched from Biden in 2020 to Trump in 2024 are considering abandoning the Republican party in 2028."
"The bulk of the now-uncertain Trump voters come from the lower end of the class hierarchy, with 31% of the lowest-income 2024 Trump voters wavering in their support, compared to just 12.7% of those earning more than $200,000."
"Trump's coalition is most stable at the top and most fragile at the bottom, as many working-class voters took a gamble on him hoping for economic relief and social peace, which he has failed to deliver."
A survey of 1,940 Trump voters reveals that about 20% may not support the Republican party in 2028. Nearly 57% of voters who switched from Biden to Trump are also considering abandoning the party. The most uncertain voters are from lower-income brackets, with 31% of the lowest-income Trump voters wavering. Educational attainment also affects stability, as 31.8% of those without a high school diploma are uncertain, compared to 17.6% of college graduates. Trump's failure to deliver on economic and social issues has contributed to this instability.
