"The 2021–2024 era was defined by a rapid, stimulus-fueled recovery that eventually collided with a multi-year cost-of-living shock, leaving the electorate exhausted despite record-low unemployment. This period saw a transition from pandemic emergency to structural industrial policy, yet failed to move the needle on presidential approval, which remained stuck in a narrow, polarized band."

"Entering 2025, the return of Donald Trump initiated a pivot toward sweeping tax reconciliation and immigration enforcement, reaching a symbolic peak with the 2026 'Golden Age' narrative. However, by mid-2026, the administration faces cooling GDP growth and a Supreme Court that has begun to aggressively check executive economic power, particularly on emergency tariffs."
