US Republicans' economic confidence plummets, Trump's election prospects face negative signals

According to Axios, over the past six months, Republicans' confidence in the economy has declined at a rate not seen since the pandemic, comparable to the level during the global financial crisis nearly two decades ago. With only two months left until election day, this is a negative signal for Trump. The director of consumer research at the University of Michigan stated that the trends in economic confidence among Republicans and Democrats are currently not parallel. Republicans have not seen a slowdown in inflation and the price reductions promised by Trump.
