"As the midterms draw nearer, longtime Democratic political strategist James Carville is calling on his party to embrace "the most populist economic platform since the Great Depression" to capitalize on Americans' fury over the Trump administration's handling of the economy. In an op-ed for the New York Times, he wrote that despite being 81 years old and coming from a more "centrist political era," it is "abundantly clear" even to him that this is how Democrats can seize the moment."
"Indeed, CNN's chief data analyst, Harry Enten, recently told viewers that according to a University of Michigan poll, consumer sentiment regarding current economic conditions is at its worst ever, dating back to 1951. Data also shows that Americans blame the president for the challenges. Enten said 61% of Americans believe Trump's policies have worsened economic conditions, and 51% say his policies have hurt their own finances."
A sweeping political recommendation urges Democrats to adopt the most populist economic platform since the Great Depression to seize voter anger over economic conditions. The platform is described as sweeping, aggressive, unvarnished, unapologetic and unmistakably focused on economic rage as the route out of political peril. Recent polling shows consumer sentiment about current economic conditions at its worst since 1951. A majority of Americans (61%) believe Trump's policies have worsened economic conditions and 51% say those policies have hurt their personal finances. Among pure independents, 79% disapprove of Trump on the economy, producing a net approval of minus-58 points.
