Uh. Duh.
"A newly released Reuters/Ipsos poll found that nearly 75 percent of U.S. adults are worried about a recession, and a clear majority – 59 percent – of Americans think the economy is in bad shape and only getting worse. Most of them are blaming Trump for the economic downturn, with 56% saying his policies are the main cause of the mess. That includes about one in four Republicans, signaling growing unease even within his own party.
...
The economy isn’t the only issue driving former supporters away. Young people who once voted for Trump are now horrified by his policies, particularly his harsh stance on immigration.
...
Right-wing figures with big followings are also backing away from Trump.
...
This shift is evident in personal stories, too. On my SiriusXM show, I spoke to Mike from California, a three-time Trump voter, who now regrets his decision and feels betrayed. Mike, a federal worker and rocket scientist, was once a staunch Trump supporter, but now he’s furious. While his own job was safe, he watched people around him lose theirs. The mass firings and the chaos caused by figures like Elon Musk, who made drastic cuts to the government, angered Mike.
Mike also pointed to Trump’s attacks on Social Security, the mass deportations of innocent people, and the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, which hit him hard. “All of it infuriated me,” Mike said. “I’m sorry I voted for him.”

Disillusioned MAGA Voters Ditch Trump: 'I Don't Believe What He Says Anymore', 'Libs Were Right About Him'
Donald Trump’s approval rating is sinking fast, and more MAGA voters are abandoning him. Recent polls show that a growing number of Americans are dissatisfied with his leadership, and many former supporters are turning their backs on him, admitting they were wrong.
