Former President Donald Trump holds an edge over Vice President Kamala Harris on several economic issues, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll. The survey, conducted as the 2024 presidential election approaches, shows Trump leading Harris on handling matters such as the stock market, the job market, cost of living, and overall economic management.
Among registered voters, Trump holds a 15-point advantage on managing the U.S. stock market and a nine-point lead on both improving Americans’ financial well-being and overseeing the broader U.S. economy. The poll also shows voters favoring Trump by seven points on handling the job market and by six points on the cost of living—an issue that a majority of respondents said should be the next president’s top priority.
Economic Concerns Drive Voter Priorities
The poll highlights the economy as a dominant issue for voters, with 26 percent of Americans saying the economy, unemployment, and jobs are the most pressing challenges facing the country. Inflation and rising prices are at the forefront of voter concerns, as 70 percent of registered voters say addressing the cost of living should be the next president’s main focus. Other economic issues, such as improving personal financial circumstances and addressing taxes, rank lower, with just 9 percent of respondents prioritizing each.
On these key economic issues, Trump consistently outperforms Harris in the eyes of voters. He leads by six points on the broader category of jobs and unemployment and holds a four-point advantage on taxes.

Yeah, but it’s rather gut-wrenching in an election where our candidate should obtain a comfortable win that it’s not even close to feeling like that.
P
There are two issues where Harris wins, abortion, and mean tweets. Along with Dem cheating, that may be enough to install the ho in the WH.
Harris never was anything of worth and never will be it’s a life style.
“I will take some good news for once”
The article doesn’t mention Trump’s big lead in his handling of immigration, which is a high priority among many voters.
Kind of like the 2022 midterms. A sure thing Red Tsunami turning into barely a trickle. The great disconnect. 62% of voters feel the nation is on the wrong track, yet Harris is neck and neck with Trump.
And yet probably half the polls say they are pretty much tied.
