Part 5/11:
Despite a resilient job approval rating for Donald Trump among working-class voters — who backed him in 2024 by a seven-point margin — there's a recognition that the overall Republican advantage going into 2026 remains slim, at just two points. These voters favor candidates who focus on economic issues and fighting large corporations and the wealthy, with 52% supporting a candidate committed to improving the economy and helping working Americans get ahead.
Conversely, only 43% prefer a candidate primarily focused on taking on big business and billionaires. This indicates a clear preference for policies that foster economic mobility and wealth creation rather than redistribution or punitive measures against the affluent, which are characteristic of far-left rhetoric.
