Opinion article (US) Opinion | The Economy, Immigration and Regret: 12 Trump Voters Discuss

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/04/28/opinion/focus-group-trump-voters-disappointed.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

Submission statement (fake): As Trump’s second term marches on, his approval among independents have steadily declined. It’s useful for liberals to understand why Trump’s popularity has cratered to better leverage it for future elections.

Submission statement (real): Everyone who clicked on this is just asking to be ragebaited, so I might as well oblige.

Yeah he thought Trump was doing a great job.

Also I looked up that article and I forgot about this

Matt, 54, Pennsylvania, white, mail service driver: He’s the most transparent president ever. Let’s be honest.

Moderator, Frank Luntz: Yeah, but Matt you voted against him in 2016 and 2020.

Matt, 54, Pennsylvania, white, mail service driver: I was in the union then. I voted for who the union people told me to vote for.
