Good list from @Timodc of Dems to watch who are putting tough red-leaning districts in play.
Notably at least three (OH-7, PA-8, NC-11) are on the list of districts that Ds are polling in/finding serious anti-Trump sentiment (see my piece/thread below).

The Dem group American Bridge has developed a complicated way to gauge sentiment among persuadable working class people. Among these voters, majorities blame Trump and GOP for their economic woes.
Check out these findings, and how they do this, below:

Everybody should watch this video. These Trump voters are exactly the sort of people that Dems are trying to reach with the polling and research in red House districts that I report on here. What they say syncs neatly with what the research shows:

Morning Joe interviewed 3-time Trump voters who have become disillusioned: "It's been two years now. You said you'd bring down the grocery prices. I must be the most angry person when I grocery shop."
"He's backtracked on every single pitch point he had during his election ... I'm not a big supporter of him at this point"
The situation is quite literally that Trump won't accept any outcome in Iran that doesn't get the people on his teevee to tell him that he's stronger than Obama and got a better deal from Iran than he did. The US and the world are being held hostage to precisely this pathology.
Trump is a whopping 50 points underwater on inflation in many polls, per new CNN analysis. No other president has come close. Another poll finds Dems +15 among indys in battle for House.
On the pod, @creynoldsnc is great on how Dems are expanding the map:

As for economic populism among people w/o college degrees, there appears to be plenty of that, too. @GregTSargent has a piece pegged to some fascinating polling data about voter anger in rural (or at least not super urban) districts that backed Trump. https://t.co/0uBk9VZHnD
The Dem group @American_Bridge has taken an interesting approach to gauging voter sentiment, finding that among persuadable, economically struggling, and/or Trump-sympathetic voters, majorities in key states and districts blame Trump/GOP for their travails. I report on that here:

Striking: New internal polling by Dems finds majorities of working class in some pretty red House districts blame Trump/GOP for their economic struggles. This is why Dems are contesting tough seats. Crucial that they're expanding the map.

Trump: I just dropped $250 million in bombs on Iran and I'm furious that the media isn't saying I'm doing even more damage than that
Mike Johnson: Trump is trying to broker peace
RAJU: Should Congress have a vote in what is clearly an escalating situation in Iran with the president now threatening to go after oil infrastructure?
MIKE JOHNSON: Operation Epic Fury was an epic success. The president is trying to broker a peace. The Iranians continue to provoke us. The Congress has to allow the commander in chief to do what he's doing, so we'll see how that goes.

Dana Bash: "Sources tell CNN that President Trump is growing more and more furious, especially this week, after he ordered new strikes in Iran. They say he felt both Tehran and the media didn't view US military action as powerful enough, so he ordered another round of strikes yesterday."
With Elon Musk inciting fascist violence all over the world, it's a damn good time to be reading Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff on Muskism. Explains a lot about the deeper toxicity of his worldview and grand plans

New Emerson poll has Dems +10 in the generic House ballot matchup. That's consistent with the findings I report on here: Majorities of working class voters blaming Trump/GOP for their economic struggles in red-leaning House districts.

for abundance-inclined Dems, I think there's a way to fuse abundance with a critique along these lines that opens the door to these voters by explaining why they're struggling in a way that also centers some bad actors
These working class voters respond well to a populist economics that centers villains (pharma, corporate price gouging, etc), hits Trump/GOP for enabling them, and pledges Dem action. They don't like the tariffs and the war.
Big opening for Dems here:
