\n One big thing dominates Tonya Rincon\u2019s holiday wish list, and she is willing to wait nearly a year to get it: \u201cDemocrats retake the House.\u201d\n <\/p>

\n Billy Pierce has a very different end-of-the-year ask: \u201cMore Republican control.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Political opposites, they are closing 2025 as they did 2024: on each side of America\u2019s Donald Trump divide.\n <\/p>\n

\n Pierce, a retiree and part-time consultant in South Carolina, rated Trump\u2019s first year back in the White House an 8 out of 10. Rincon, a Michigander who retired last year from the Ford Motor Company, graded the president a 1. (Zero was not an option.)\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cBetter,\u201d is how Pierce rated his standard of living since Trump returned to the presidency 11 months ago. \u201cSlightly worse,\u201d Rincon answered.\n <\/p>\n

\n Both are voters participating in our All Over the Map project. We began the project 28 months ago with a handful of voters in Iowa and now keep in touch, so far, with roughly 150 voters spread across 17 states.\n <\/p>\n

\n Polarization has been a constant since Trump took center stage in American politics, so it was no surprise that our end-of-the-year survey showed the fierce divide over the president persists. In some ways, that divide has seemed to widen since his return to office.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI think President Trump is doing an amazing job,\u201d said Pam Aita, a Pennsylvania retiree who lives in bellwether Northampton County.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cNarcissistic sociopath,\u201d was the quite different assessment of Trump from Darrell Ann Murphy, a retiree who regularly plays mahjong with Aita despite their vastly different views on the president and his performance.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHe is the worst at everything,\u201d said Zoila Sanchez, a Las Vegas real estate agent who considers herself a Reagan Republican and cannot stomach Trump.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHe is working very hard to bring jobs back to the country,\u201d said Joseph Knowles, a Michigan autoworker.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHe is not focused on America \u2014 he is focused on himself,\u201d said Claudio Rodriguez, a community organizer and food bank worker in Arizona. \u201cSo much for \u2018America First.\u2019\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Beyond the reflexive Trump divide, though, the survey did provide several interesting takeaways. Some may be instructive about the midterm election climate, at least at this beginning stage.\n <\/p>\n

\n Others offer insight as we inch toward a giant and unpredictable transition: The Republican Party\u2019s search for a new leader after three consecutive presidential elections with Trump atop the ticket.\n <\/p>\n

\nThere is also the Democrats\u2019 identity crisis, which remains an issue, though it was masked somewhat by the anti-Trump sentiment that powered Democrats to a string of important 2025 election victories.\n <\/p>\n

\n Some highlights from the survey are below.\n <\/p>\n

\n Cost of living remains a dominant issue\n<\/h2>\n

\n Cost of living was a bipartisan concern. Democrats in our voter survey said Trump broke a promise to bring costs down quickly; Republicans tended to be more patient, even as most reported their costs are at least somewhat higher in 2025 than 2024.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt\u2019s worse,\u201d said Kim Cavaliere, an independent who lives in Georgia. \u201cSo I am supposed to be excited because egg prices went down.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Immigration enforcement tactics draw anger, concern\n<\/h2>\n

\n The Democratic voters we surveyed were unanimous in their outrage over the Trump administration\u2019s deportation tactics.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt is a stain on our country,\u201d said Carey Fulks Jr., an Atlanta Democrat.\n <\/p>\n
