It seems to me like the numbers from Big Data Poll suggest that most Americans think that Trump is trying to do the right thing economically, but most of the ones who are concerned are ones listening to economists literally screaming that Trump is, word for word quote: "an unbelievable fucking idiot. I didn't think he and his team were this fucking stupid".
There is a large segment of the economist community absolutely losing their shit, and in a way that I've never really seen before. Like, this is the first time these people have ever swore on any topic on television, radio, or internet; and they are spitting fucking mad. There are a lot of managerial boomers that are furious that Trump is actively taking an axe to the establishment white-collar, middle-managerial, institutions and they are losing their mind. They've never seen the institutions take a loss, and the institutions are reacting badly. Worse than MSNBC.
That seems to be what is trickling down to people who are unsure. We've just got a fucking stellar jobs report, and wages are increasing faster than inflation, and as a result the real economy is starting to do good for the first time since Covid, and instead the foreign investment and managerial class are taking the only loss since 2020 and 2008, and they can't seem to stop it.
I mean, it's like how when most Boomers turned against Vietnam was when Walter Kronkite said it seems futile and hopeless. Well, if Walter Kronkite came on air and started screaming that LBJ should be raped and shot on television, it would un-nerve you too, especially if that was a source of objective, calm, wisdom and authority.

they aren't economists, they're keynesians
I've never felt closer to you than this moment.
