U.S. Republicans’ Confidence in the Economy Drops Sharply, Axios Says

According to Jin10, Axios reported that Republicans’ confidence in the economy has fallen sharply over the past six months at a pace not seen since the pandemic, with the decline comparable to levels seen during the global financial crisis nearly two decades ago. The University of Michigan consumer survey director said Republicans and Democrats usually move in roughly parallel directions on economic confidence, but that is not the case now, and Republicans had been very positive about government economic policy, including tariffs, but have not seen inflation slow, let alone the price declines U.S. President Donald Trump promised.
