James Carville wasn’t horsing around.

The famed Democratic strategist said attending the Kentucky Derby convinced him that “buyer’s remorse” was growing among Donald Trump voters.

“It’s not just that the polling is bad; you can feel it,” Carville said on “Politics War Room” Thursday. “You can just see the anger coming from people that you ... would never expect.”

“I saw it at the Kentucky Derby,” he continued.

Carville described sitting with James Williams Jr., the general president of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades. He said Williams informed him that most members voted for Trump, but “they got real buyer’s remorse now, which I think is a good sign,” he said.

“I mean, now we know that young people have real buyer’s remorse. We know that there’s real buyer’s remorse among Hispanics. Apparently, among blue-collar people, it’s pretty substantial.”

Carville’s podcast co-host, Al Hunt, noted that when he rode the train between Washington and New York recently, he was approached by a half-dozen strangers asking him, “When are we gonna get rid of this guy?”

“Two of them had volunteered that they voted for him,” Hunt said.

Trump’s approval ratings have ranged between 34% to 45% in recent polling, according to a New York Times aggregation of surveys.

The ongoing war that Trump started against Iran has jacked up fuel prices and other costs. It has also angered some of his MAGA base because the president vowed to avoid foreign conflicts on the campaign trail.

While Hispanic voters’ approval ratings of Trump did sink, they have been on the rebound, according to new polling.
