According to a New York Times analysis by Shane Goldmacher, former President Donald Trump is losing support among white working-class voters on economic issues. The analysis, based on recent polling data, indicates a shift in this key demographic group that has been a core part of Trump's political base.
The article notes that economic concerns, including inflation and job security, are driving the change. White working-class voters, who previously strongly backed Trump's economic policies, now show increased skepticism. The analysis does not provide specific numerical data but highlights a trend of declining confidence.
This shift could have significant implications for the 2026 midterm elections and the 2028 presidential race. Political analysts are closely watching these voters, who are concentrated in swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
