A Raw Story article highlights claims from Democratic pollster Molly Murphy and other political strategists that some voters who supported President Donald Trump have become increasingly dissatisfied with his administration.According to reporting cited from The New York Times, concerns intensified after U.S.involvement in the conflict with Iran and as rising fuel costs affected household budgets.

Murphy described discussions with working-class Trump voters who struggled to explain or defend their continued support for the president, calling the shift a significant political turning point.

The article points to polling data suggesting that white voters without college degrees, a key constituency that strongly supported Trump in the 2024 election, have become more negative about his handling of economic issues.

While this group previously expressed strong approval of his economic performance, more recent surveys reportedly show declining support, particularly regarding the cost of living.Only a minority of respondents approved of his performance on that issue.

Democratic strategist Eva Kemp of American Bridge stated that identifying disappointed Trump voters for political advertising and outreach has become easier.

She also noted a gender divide, saying women in a recent Iowa focus group were especially critical of the president's performance, often assigning failing grades.Republican strategists reportedly acknowledged observing similar differences between male and female voters.

The article includes interviews with individual Trump voters who cited higher gasoline prices and financial pressures as reasons for their disappointment.

One Iowa retiree said increased fuel costs had reduced his ability to travel, while a Texas voter stated that Trump's promises to lower gas prices had not materialized and that he now plans to support a third-party candidate in the 2026 elections.Overall, the report portrays growing economic frustration among some former Trump supporters.
