Non-college voters, the base of the MAGA movement, are abandoning the GOP.

MAGA's net favorability is -22 pts (down 28 pts) with them. Trump's now at -19 pt net approval with them. Dems actually lead in the race for Congress with them.

This is what blue waves are built on.

Don’t confuse MAGA with the GOP.

I support MAGA. The GOP, not so much.

I don’t believe this. No MAGA republicans want socialism.

They don't want elective wars, either.

These people are NOT going to vote Democrat..but the problem right now is that Trump keeps going on TV and saying how great things are and that America is “Back” no its not. Everything is still very expensive. For example we used to buy Perdue chicken for 8.99 on sale at Whole Foods Market, now the same chicken, on sale is 10.19 on sale, I dont know if its tariffs or what it is but prices have gone up and lying about it isnt helping anyone. Now Biden’s Administration did the same thing, say everything was hunky dory and paid the price, we cant do the same thing just cause its our guy in the white house

“”””All of these people are screaming about “eating at home” but I basically never made meals at home in those days and I was able to get by.””””

Getting by as we all do during a period when we spent everything we had eating, at bars, on girls, since it was all disposable pocket money, or getting by as in eating out at the time and also wanting or trying to buy a house and furniture, health insurance, property taxes, and so on?

Non-college voters, the base of the MAGA movement? I would like to see the data on that. Just another BS story written by assh*les.

Maybe the poll represents not dissatisfaction with MAGA but rather the feeling that Trump has abandoned or neglected the cause in favor or corporate statism with AI and foreign entanglement in Iran that allows inflation to stay alive ?

MAGA isn’t all republicans. This issue is people conflate MAGA with the republican party.

They are not the same, and the people in MAGA aren’t necessarily republicans

I will never be registered R, but I am firmly America First.
There are libertarians and other independents that were/are maga, but not firmly R votes.

Trump has done little to help the Middle Class, window dressing at best. It was horrible under Biden but not much better under Trump... Now if you are a buddy of Trump and rich you are making out like a bandits...

Gallup called me for a while about 20 years ago. Basically the questions were “How bad is Bush” “How awful are Republicans “ etc. Even worse, you could only pick a reply. The only dissent was “don’t know” or “no opinion”.

Not surprisingly, the results, a few days later, would proclaim that 72% of the public disagreed with The GOP.

The forecast from early in the 2016 primary race came from senior political analyst Harry Enten:

“Why Donald Trump Isn’t a Real Candidate."

“Trump has a better chance of cameoing in another ‘Home Alone’ movie with Macaulay Culkin—or playing in the NBA Finals—than winning the Republican nomination.”

"Expert"

Corrupt liberal elite pollsters got tired of announcing every few months that MAGA was leaving Trump. So now they have a new way to phrase their old lies.

Working class people don't fall for commie lies. Liberal elite pollsters are WRONG again. It's always loser sons and daughters of wealthy liberals who can't get a job after elite prep schools and four years of college at 'the best' schools - studying 'grievance issues' or journalism...

IF American commies run a candidate for President who's like them - it'll be Hunter Biden - a loser who had it all given to him on a platter and is still an angry privileged little brat. Hunter still uses a prep school type backpack rather than a briefcase. Is that telling or what? He 'peaked' in high school. Hunter Biden IS the face of the commie revolution here... .
Poor little overindulged rich kid/brat.

I don’t believe this. No MAGA republicans want socialism.

"Independents" are not MAGA voters, and yes, I believe a majority of them do want socialism. They just don't want to admit it.

It is really hard to spurn the socialist promise of "free stuff" paid with "somebody else's money". Way too many people want to believe those sweet little lies. They vote accordingly.

As for "MAGA Republicans" - they had better all turn out in November. If they stay home (or just skip the mail-in vote), the Democrat socialists will win the election.

The extremists on both Democrat and Republican sides are the ones who will prevail. The "moderates" in all parties will be ignored.

All candidates need do is present a regular public appearance of calm, certainly, and sanity. In the case of the Democrats, the appearance of sanity may be optional. Republicans need to direct their appeals specifically to men.

And moving TO what? Communism? Islam? Two sides of the same totalitarian coin.

Yeah, sure. CNN citing Marquette Law School.

From google AI:

“While the Marquette Law School Poll maintains a strong academic reputation, it has experienced notable misses beyond the presidential races—predominantly overestimating Democratic candidates and underestimating Republican turnout in Wisconsin state elections.”

When do we get capitalism?

It's been nothing but socialistic policies for decades.

Stimulus checks, tarp, bailouts, endless debt, government 'investment' into companies, lecturing private enterprise, not cutting government spending, central planning, artificial low interest rates, etc etc.

See, the establishment is waiting out Trump and we are moving back to globalism, off shoring, Immigration and cheap labor. Pence and Romney will run for POTUS ensuring a loss and permanent minority GOP status.
