President Trump promised an economic golden age when he returned to office last year.

Instead, voters are in their crankiest mood in years about their financial outlook — and the pessimism is spreading even to Republicans, Axios’ Mike Zapler writes.

Why it matters: The growing GOP gloom could hardly come at a worse time for Trump and the party — less than six months out from a midterm that’s likely to turn on the economy. 

Trump’s approval rating has been dropping for months. But the University of Michigan’s May consumer sentiment survey released yesterday revealed something more striking: Republicans are beginning to lose confidence in the economy, too.

Republican and independent voters’ attitudes about the economy hit a low point in Trump’s second term, per the survey. Overall sentiment hit an all-time low, period.

Expectations that inflation will remain high shot up among everyone surveyed, but especially Republicans. The long-run inflation expectations for Republicans “are currently more than double their February 2025 reading on a monthly basis,” the Michigan survey found.A line chart that tracks the consumer sentiment index monthly from January 1978 to May 2026. The index ranges from 44.8 to 112. In the listed data points, it ranges from 83.7 in January 1978 to 95.7 in March 2002, then hits 44.8 in May 2026, an all-time low.Data: University of Michigan. Chart: Axios Visuals 

By the numbers: An AP/NORC poll out this week found that around 6 in 10 Republicans approve of Trump’s handling of the economy. That’s down from about 8 in 10 in February.

Gallup’s gauge of consumer economic confidence released yesterday found that Republicans’ economic outlook has dipped for the past four months, to the lowest level of Trump’s second term.

A CBS News/YouGov poll this month told much the same story: Just 36% of Republicans said Trump’s policies were making them financially better off.Share this story.

DW: Following the money: Terror financing from Germany. Islamist terrorism continues to claim numerous victims worldwide. Extremist networks are financed in part by donations from Germany. But investigations often prove to be difficult. The apathy in Ireland needs to be challenged, people need to wake up … eg German social welfare going towards ISIS or worse raising money by crowd funding and then there is cryptocurrency.
