Data supports the idea that Trump voters are feeling remorse. As Croucher writes, “An August Navigator Research survey found 18 percent of 2024 Trump voters regretted their vote. Among the regretful, 45 percent cited Iran or other foreign-policy decisions and 43 percent cited prices and the cost of living. UMass Amherst found a similar erosion without a mass break. Fifty-eight percent of Trump voters were ‘very confident’ in their choice in August, down from 74 percent in April 2025. Pew found Republican economic optimism weakening too, with 41 percent rating the economy good or excellent in July, down from 49 percent in January.
