- Consumer sentiment has soured on Donald Trump's economy amid escalating affordability strains, per a University of Michigan survey cited across coverage.
- Republicans' economic optimism has fallen to its lowest level, with the sentiment dip hitting GOP voters hardest of any group.
Why it matters: The steepest erosion in confidence is among Trump's own base — Republicans — which underscores how inflation and affordability, not abstract metrics, are driving dissatisfaction on the administration's signature issue. With sentiment data diverging from prior GOP messaging, the White House faces a credibility problem on the economy heading into the midterms.
