"There are the hardcore Trump loyalists — and yes, that’s most Trump voters — but he doesn’t get over the hill without that other 10 percent: the price of eggs voters. They’ll tell pollsters or in focus groups that they don’t like Trump. They’ll say he’s gross, he’s racist, he’s a pig — but they’ve bought into this lie that he’s a competent businessman," she (Salon's Amanda Marcotte) said.

Those "price of egg voters," she said, look to Trump's first term with "rose-colored glasses. They have this vague nostalgia for what they thought was the Trump economy in his first term, which was really just pre-COVID America."

While he still has the support of his loyal base, Marcotte said, Trump is hemorrhaging his other voters.

"What’s happening now is that those voters — the ones he really does need on board if he wants to get anything done — are turning against him pretty quickly. You can see it when you break down the polling: young voters, a lot of whom were actual kids when Trump was president the first time, and Latino voters who bought into the notion that his racism was a joke," She said.
