More voters trust Kamala Harris than Trump on economy: Survey
The Hill ^ | 08/12/2024 | Sarah Fortinsky

Posted on 08/12/2024 10:28:01 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

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).

Well, I don’t trust surveys no matter who does them.

I don’t respond to them. And lots of people, for various reasons, probably don’t respond to them honestly or accurately.

(I also think that publications are often very ‘selective’ about the ones they choose to cover.)

I had read it was 91% hilly and 19% Trump...until it was reported that the number cruncher was dyslexic.

This whole thing is about saving down ballet races. The globalists don’t want her to win either. They are stuck. Ultimately, they will let Trump win, but sabotage him at every turn, until they can get their guy Newsom in for 2028.

I give them a break as they were only informed by the lying msm who scared the ever lovin bejeebers out of them with nonstop hysteria reporting-

BUT- now, 4 years later- we still people wearing them- those folks i do not give a pass to- The evidence against masks is everywhere now- and covid has mutated into a very ‘safe’ virus with a survivability rate of over 99%- so there is no excuse for healthy fit people to be wearing masks and giving everyone the stink eye if they get too close any longer-

That brings a smile!

Knowing how the ‘Rat Party operates (the Kamala bus riding over Joe) I would say that she found out that the Party didn’t want her - the hard way.

These media are too dense to realize that every story like this one further decimates their limited readership.

They have less than 3 months to convince the nation that it is close enough for a steal.

You really should direct your ire at the outfit doing the survey, not this reporter.
