What Trump Voters Say About the Economy Now

Wall Street Journal: Around 40% of voters in the 2024 election said the economy was their top issue, far outstripping any other matter. And those voters favored Donald Trump by 60% to 38%. Many say they were moved by his pledges to tame inflation, rebuild U.S. infrastructure, cut red tape and trim government waste.
About a year and a half later, more voters disapprove of Trumps handling of the economy than approve, 61% to 35%, an average of polls by the Cook Political Report found this month.

In some recent elections in GA, FL and TX, Dem candidates were elected by margins that would be mathematically impossible without Republicans crossing over and voting for the Dem.
