Trump voter remorse is almost entirely concentrated in the swing voters who gave him a shot in 2024 | Fortune
"“It's not enough to say, well, I changed my mind - or like, oh, this is bad, I'm out.” Carlson said he will be “tormented” by his support for Trump “for a long time” and that he is “sorry for misleading people.”"
"Growing unease with the Trump administration among these former allies comes amid some of the worst polling of Trump's career. According to data compiled by pollster G. Elliott Morris, Trump's popularity has been steadily declining over the past year. Americans are seriously questioning his handling of key issues, such as inflation, immigration, jobs and foreign affairs."
"We found that 84% of 2024 Trump voters say they would vote for Trump if given the chance to vote again in the 2024 election. That's down 2 percentage points since we previously asked this question in July 2025. Over 90% of members of Trump's core base of voters - including 93% of self-identified Republican Trump voters, 95% of self-identified conservative Trump voters and 92% of Trump voters over age 55 - said they would vote for Trump as they did in 2024 if given a second chance."
"Our results suggest that a growing number of them - especially moderates, African Americans and young people - are experiencing voter's remorse. Support for Trump remains strong. To be clear, our survey shows that most Trump voters remain in the president's camp."
Political commentator Tucker Carlson expressed remorse for previously supporting Trump, saying changing his mind or leaving is not enough, and that he will be tormented for a long time while apologizing for misleading people. Unease among former allies coincides with some of the worst polling of Trump’s career, with declining popularity and serious questions about inflation, immigration, jobs, and foreign affairs. A nationally representative poll of 1,000 U.S. adults recruited through YouGov found that most Trump voters still support Trump, with 84% saying they would vote for him again, down slightly from July 2025. Over 90% of core base voters would vote again, including majorities across Republican, conservative, and older groups. Some voters, especially moderates, African Americans, and young people, report voter’s remorse.
