Michigan Trump swing voters have buyer's remorse...

"erratic, frightening, disruptive, dictator".....
Most Michigan swing voters in our latest Engagious/Sago focus groups said that although they voted for President Trump in November, they have objections, frustrations and fears about his behavior since he returned to power.
Driving the news: Ten of 13 participants from this battleground, auto-industry state bordering Canada said what they're seeing isn't what they thought they were voting for — and they're worried Trump's approach may hurt their pocketbooks.
"Erratic," "frightening," "disruptive" and "dictator" were among the words they used to describe their concerns.
Zoom in: A focus group is not a statistically significant sample like a poll, but the voters' reactions suggest that Trump risks overplaying his mandate to reshape government, trade and international alliances.
The online panels, conducted Tuesday night, were made up of Michigan voters who backed former President Biden in 2020 but switched to Trump last November. Eight were self-described independents, four were Republicans and one was a Democrat.
The big picture: The voters' responses stand in stark contrast to last month's focus group with Arizona swing voters, all of whom said they approve of Trump's earliest actions.
The Michigan voters felt differently after more exposure to Elon Musk, DOGE, large-scale federal worker firings, tariffs and no relief on prices.
Trump entered his second term with a higher approval rating than he had during his first term, but polls indicate his honeymoon has begun to fade as Americans' concerns over the economy rise.

Trump is one of the most successful con artists in the history of American politics.
He correctly identifies the gullible, emotionally vulnerable and financially vulnerable voters and feeds them the red meat they want to hear.
This is not hard to do. If I was comfortable not having a family and being a scumbag and lying cheating and stealing, I could also con tens of millions of people.

What's strange to me...

Is how people literally memory-holed 2020, and Trump's destructive response to Covid, and then finally his criminal response to the 2020 election. They just acted as if 2020, and the catastrophe that Trump left for Biden to clean up, didn't happen.
This panel was composed of people that voted for Biden in 2020, and then Trump in 2024. I don't see how anyone that voted for Biden in 2020 could switch to Trump in 2024. But America is a big country. So, every conceivable possible voter is out there...

screwed up on since 2020. Trump shouldn’t have been able to get within 25 million votes of the Presidency again.

No man, none of this is any dems fault. They ran a perfect, flawless campaign.
These former Biden voters suddenly became gullible, racists, bigots.

Powerful research.
Sample size is a whopping 13 people.
It’s no wonder that Axios is so highly respected.
