This story is yet another example of how people in the elite establishment just don’t get it.
Pollster Frank Luntz spoke to a panel made up of Trump supporters. He seemed to want to goad them into admitting regret for voting for Trump based on economic policy, specifically tariffs.
Instead, no one regrets anything. Most of them seem completely willing to pay more for products made in America. Everyone seems confident that the stock market will eventually self-correct.
Luntz is positively stunned. The panel clearly didn’t go the way he was expecting.
BizPacReview has details:
“I need to ask you an issue that no one’s brought up and has crashed your 401(k)s, most of you, the tariffs,” Luntz said. “The stock market is way down.”
“It needed a correction,” said Sarina from New York.
“Oh, so you support it?” a visibly surprised Luntz asked, prompting several members of the call to answer affirmatively.
“And I have to tell you, my 401(k) wasn’t impacted at all,” Sarina added.
“First of all, how many of you did not lose any money over the crash of the stock market?” Luntz asked, as three hands appeared on screen.
David from Ohio broke in at that point to say that he had “lost more money under the Biden administration than under the Trump administration.”
“No one’s upset over this?” Luntz asked.
“No,” replied multiple participants.
“There’s not a single four-year period in the history of the stock market where the stock market hasn’t appreciated at an average rate of about seven percent,” noted John from Colorado. “So yeah, there’s ups and downs and corrections and people are foolish and they jump out, you know, buy high sell low, but if people just get in and stay the course, they’ll be just fine.”

YOU’VE GOTTA HEAR THIS: Frank Luntz gets a panel of Trump voters and is shocked when he finds out they aren’t jumping ship because of a market correction/dip in response to tariffs.
There’s too much reason and logic in this frame for any single Democrat to handle!

There’s this ridiculous myth on the left that Trump voters have regrets. In reality, almost every Trump voter you speak to is likely to say, ‘I voted for this.’
