INSIGHT

Economy Polls Threaten GOP Control

  • Multiple polls show Trump trails on the economy and many voters blame his policies.
  • Poor economic perceptions threaten Republican control of the House and possibly the Senate.
ANECDOTE

On-Camera Speed Creates An Illusion

  • A Two Way caller argued Trump's constant on-camera activity creates an illusion of quick action.
  • That contrast with slow economic fixes may explain voter frustration about his pace on affordability.
ADVICE

Show A Concrete Economic Plan Quickly

  • The White House must present specific economic policies and show early results by spring.
  • Use the State of the Union to communicate a credible plan that voters can feel by mid-2026.
