Since the beginning of March, the share of Republicans who say the economy is getting worse has roughly doubled from 18% to 34%, a 16-point jump that far exceeds the 3-point jump among Democrats in the same time period. The share of MAGA Republicans saying the economy is getting worse has risen from 11% to 18% over that time. The share of non-MAGA Republicans has risen from 30% to 65%, a 36-point jump. (The sample size for Republicans who say they’re unsure if they are MAGA supporters is small, but negative views about the economy among this group also have risen sharply since the start of the year.)
Last week, 67% of Independents and 42% of non-MAGA Republicans said the economy is getting worse. Today, 67% of Independents and 65% of non-MAGA Republicans say this.
