Pew Research: Unlikely Agreement - Biden and Trump Supporters Unite in Economic Criticism

A new report from Pew Research Center reveals a surprising area of agreement between Biden and Trump supporters: criticism of the U.S. economic system. Despite sharp divisions on many issues, both groups largely believe the system unfairly favors powerful interests.

Key findings:

  • 85% of Biden supporters and 62% of Trump supporters say the economic system is unfair

  • Majorities in both camps think major corporations have too much power

  • Age and income affect views more among Trump supporters than Biden supporters

  • Overall, 74% of U.S. adults now say the system unfairly favors powerful interests, up slightly since 2019-2021

This data suggests economic fairness could be a bipartisan concern, though differences remain in the intensity of criticism and specific policy solutions.
