Working-class voters shift back to Trump despite economic concerns

smh.com.au

Working-class voters have shifted back to Donald Trump in the recent election, despite concerns that his policies may worsen their economic situation. Many voters expressed dissatisfaction with their financial status, with 46% feeling worse off than four years ago. An NBC exit poll revealed that 70% of those who felt the economy was poor voted for Trump. This reflects a broader trend where dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs led many to seek change, even if it meant returning to a controversial figure. Trump's upcoming presidency may bring significant economic changes, including proposed tariffs that could increase costs for American families. Experts warn that these policies could lead to higher prices, potentially making working-class voters worse off than before.
