"That problem is compounded by the fact that the GOP coalition is now more reliant on infrequent voters who have gone out to cast ballots for Trump yet have stayed home during nonpresidential contests.

"Politico conducted a poll that found the "Big Beautiful Bill" congressional Republicans passed last summer"and which GOP leaders said would save their electoral hopes this fall"was a failure.

Only 8% of Americans said that the bill"which slashed healthcare and food stamp benefits for the poorest segment of the population to only partly pay for tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefit the wealthiest few"greatly helped their finances.

Even more troublesome for Republicans is that only 26% of people who voted for Trump said the bill gave working-class Americans big tax breaks.

A plurality of Trump voters (35%) instead said that working-class Americans got only "some" tax breaks, which were there merely to "conceal larger tax breaks for the wealthy." Ouch."
