A Fox News poll released Wednesday found 52% of voters think Democrats would handle the economy better versus 48% for Republicans—the first time Democrats have led on this issue since 2010, marking a significant shift in a metric Republicans have dominated for over a decade. This reflects broader momentum changes with gas prices declining and Trump's popularity slipping ahead of midterms six months away. The finding is particularly striking given the economy has historically been Republican terrain, and suggests voter perceptions are responding to current economic conditions rather than partisan default positions.
