From @theatlantic.com @elainegodfrey.bsky.social. In early April NYT fg, no Trump vtr would change their vote. In our late April fgs & survey, more (not all!) shared regret. Trump voters shifting? Or diff btwn “regret” & “would change vote”? We’ll keep exploring. Majority of Trump vtrs still w/him.

How many Trump voters regret their choice? I would have guessed less than 11%, but it's consistent with what we're hearing in focus groups. From the latest @navigatorsurvey.bsky.social release:

Hey! It's my first Substack post. Thanks for reading. open.substack.com/pub/margieom...

Trump is preparing to make JD Vance the “tariff czar” to deal with the rising prices and other problems that are about to arise because of their tariffs on China. 🔗: www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

From our latest @nytopinion.nytimes.com focus group, this time with Trump voters. They give him mostly Bs & Cs, and are at times both worried and optimistic about tariffs, hoping to pay no more than 3-5% more in prices. No one would go back & change their vote.

I'm back! I hear this is the place where we solve all our problems.

Mandate? Trump is now under 50% in the popular vote with his margin ranking 44th out of 51 elections since 1824. 4 Democrats won Senate seats in states Trump carried—compared to zero in 16 and 20. GOP poised for its smallest House majority since the U.S. had 50 states. - CNN’s Harry Enten reports

Our latest for @nytopinion.bsky.social: Young Black college grads give America a "C" or "D" on race, but generally expect it to be better 25 years from now.

Do I have to use my first post to say something profound or can I just say I really enjoyed the Wham! documentary?
