- Consumer sentiment dipped across the US, with the sharpest decline among Republicans, per Axios
- Americans are souring on Donald Trump's economy as affordability strains intensify, the Financial Times reports
- Inflation concerns remain in focus according to a University of Michigan consumer survey cited by Yahoo Finance
Why it matters: Consumer sentiment drives household spending, and a steep partisan split means economic dissatisfaction is now reshaping political alignments, not just wallets.
