- Republican voter confidence in the economy has plummeted over the last six months, a pace unseen since the COVID pandemic.
- The decline is reminiscent of drops seen during the global financial crisis nearly two decades ago, per the source.
Why it matters: The standard political pattern is for the president's party to be upbeat about the economy while the opposition criticizes it. Republican pessimism over six months at a pace unseen since COVID and reminiscent of the 2008 financial crisis breaks from that typical partisan alignment.
