A key group of voters that helped return President Donald Trump to the White House is turning on him, according to a political researcher.

Rachel Janfaza, the founder of the Gen Z-focused newsletter The Up and Up, told host Katie Phang on Saturday's episode of "Katie Phang News" that young men who were among Trump's loudest backers in 2024 have soured on his second term.

"They look at the Trump administration, including a lot of those young men who were his most vocal supporters in 2024, and say, 'Since he's taken office, inflation has gone up. The economy has gotten worse. The job market has gotten worse. There's corruption beyond belief. He's building a ballroom. He is now the establishment that he sought to tear down,'" Janfaza said....

One of President Donald Trump's closest advisers privately gave GOP donors a grim assessment of the president, and his former supporters seem to agree.

On Saturday's episode of "The Focus Group Podcast," Politico reporter Kimberly Leonard told host Sarah Longwell that Tony Fabrizio, Trump's longtime pollster, recently warned Florida donors that the president has become a liability for Republicans beyond his base.

Leonard said Fabrizio made the remarks at a fundraiser at Miami Beach's Fontainebleau for Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), the Trump-endorsed candidate running for governor of Florida....

Some of President Donald Trump's most loyal supporters are turning on a powerful Republican governor, with one flipping a common Trump attack against him.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is bleeding support from MAGA voters furious over his school voucher crusade and his embrace of massive data centers, New York Times opinion columnist Michelle Goldberg reported Friday.

Lynn Davenport, a lifelong conservative who attended Trump's rally in Washington on January 6, 2021, though she left before the Capitol riot, told Goldberg that Abbott is a "globalist, which to me is scarier than a communist, a socialist or a Marxist."...

Voters who helped put President Donald Trump back in office are recoiling from his latest stunt, a former GOP pollster found.

Sarah Longwell, publisher of The Bulwark, wrote Friday that she gathered a group of Florida voters who backed Trump in 2024 but now disapprove of his job performance. She then showed them one of the taxpayer-funded "public service announcements" running during NFL games, college football and "Dancing with the Stars."

The spot pulls from a 2024 campaign rally speech in which Trump vows to "demolish the deep state," "drive out the globalists" and "liberate America from these villains once and for all."...

A Virginia shop that became a MAGA merchandise destination has watched its sales collapse as MAGA customers sour on the president.

CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" aired the report on Tuesday, flagging "troubling signs for President Trump on the campaign trail." In the report, correspondent Elle Reeve returned to Whitey Taylor's Trump Town USA in Boones Mill, Virginia.

Taylor told Reeve that at its peak, the store pulled in "a lot of $12,000, say, maybe a $15,000 a day" on occasion. Now, he said, it's "1,500, 2,000 bucks, sometimes hit 3,000."...

Voters in a deep-red state are turning on President Donald Trump as he arrives to rally for struggling Republican candidates.

The Guardian reported Saturday that Trump's standing in Ohio has collapsed during his second term, with a Marist poll taken late last month finding 56 percent of registered voters there disapprove of his job performance.

Trump is set to appear Saturday in Montgomery County, a longtime swing county near Dayton that he lost by just 1,201 votes in 2024, to boost Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) and gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. Both men are trailing their Democratic opponents, Sherrod Brown and Amy Acton....
