More voters say they trust Vice President Harris to handle the economy than they do former President Trump, according to a poll released Monday by the Financial Times and the University of Michigan Ross School of Business.
Harris leads Trump 42 percent to 41 percent in the August poll when respondents were asked which candidate they trust to handle the economy, regardless of whom they plan on supporting in November.
The finding marks the first time the Democratic candidate has inched ahead of the GOP candidate on the economy question since the monthly poll began tracking voter sentiment on the issue last year. Harris’s lead is boosted by a jump in her own support — not from any change in Trump’s. Voter trust in him remains unchanged from recent months, at 41 percent.
While Harris’s lead over Trump remains within the margin of error, her jump in the polls over President Biden’s July performance is statistically significant.
Harris’s August numbers showed a 7-point improvement over Biden’s performance in July, when he was trusted by 35 percent of voters to handle the economy. That poll followed similar results in June (37 percent), May (35 percent), April (35 percent) and March (34 percent).

Bull crap.
From the same people who told us joey was fit as a fiddle
Cmon man
The Hill.
Some details on this survey:
Harris’s rise in voter trust on the economy comes from voters who previously answered the question by saying they “trust neither” candidate.
The new poll was conducted Aug. 1-5 with 1,001 interviews. The margin of error is 3.1 percentage points.
uNIVERSITY OF Michigan poll....DUH.
Nope. I live around many liberals for the moment. None of them are keen about Harris. Just because a NY writer writes it, does not make it factual or actual.

Exactly!
These polls are to help the dems. As election day gets closer the polls (especially those that want to maintain credibility) will tighten and begin to reflect more realistically how Americans feel.
Nobody can believe that nonsense.
RE: The Hill
They’re just reporting the results of the survey.
It’s not their survey but the Financial Times’ and University of Michigan’s
“1,000 crack users were asked”...if some of these polls are really true, it’s over folks.
Sometimes I think we oughta take a page out of the liberal media playbook and just ignore this kind of obvious excrement.
Anyone in need of a giggle should check out the methodology.
It’s a hoot!
With all the state-run media gas-lighting taking place, natural gas prices will triple by November
I trust she will double / triple prices,again.
The commies have wanted $8/10 gas forever
once again the clueless prove themselves.
Heels Up ran a lot of ads during the Olympics about the economy, so I guess some folks drank the Kool-Aid.
um yeah right- what has harris done to prove ANYTHING on the economy other than show her support for obiden’s massive tax hikes and price increases due to regulations?
So more people love paying TWICE the price for everything than they should be paying? More people love having less $$ each month due to high prices on everything?
Not buying it!
