It's true, voters are concerned about different issues, but when the economy is this bad, every voter in the lower 70% of the income bracket is concerned about feeding their family. This was the base of Trump's popularity, not anymore.

That was an issue for Biden. Unemployment only effects some people and their immediate family, though high unemployment makes people scared...but Inflation or Tariffs are something that hit everybody. The guy driving the airport shuttle and the guy flying first class can both find common ground and get mad about it.
