A new Morning Consult poll out on Tuesday shows problems for the Republican Party as Democrats are more trusted to handle the key issue that propelled Donald Trump to the White House in 2024 and gave the party unilateral control of Washington .

Trump was elected in a large part due to the economy. Voters believed at the time that his policies would make them better off, now nearly three months into the new administration with a Republican controlled-Congress that sentiment has changed.

The Morning Consult poll shows 46 percent of voters believe Congressional Democrats are better on the economy, compared to 43 percent who believe Republicans are better. 11 percent have no opinion.

The results are a stunning reversal from January where Republicans had an eleven point advantage among voters who say they’re better at handling the economy.

“That 3-percentage-point edge for Democrats—their largest since April 2021—underlines a stark unraveling for the GOP, which had come off the 2024 election with a double-digit advantage on the matter,” Morning Consult wrote.

This also marks the first time, in this poll, that Democrats are more trusted to handle the economy since 2021 when Joe Biden was in office.

The poll comes as Trump himself is underwater for his handling of the economy due to his deeply unpopular tariff strategy which congressional Republicans are forced to defend.

The poll also shows that congressional Democrats are now viewed more favorably than congressional Republicans.

“For the first time since just before the 2024 election, the average voter is more likely to hold positive than negative views about Democrats in Congress (47% to 46%). It leaves them more popular than Republicans in Congress, whose favorability ratings are now 10 points underwater,” Morning Consult reported.
