For decades, the Democratic Party was seen as the champion of the middle class.
However, under President Trump, Republicans have narrowed that gap and may soon overtake Democrats among working-class voters.
Since Trump’s 2024 victory, Republicans hold a 10-point lead on economic issues. CNN analyst Harry Enten expressed surprise, given economic uncertainties and stock market volatility.
Polls show Republicans now have a 12-point advantage on who has the better economic plan. Enten warned Democrats risk losing their traditional base as both parties are now tied on representing the middle class, with Republicans closing the gap significantly.
