A recent poll reveals that voters are divided on whether Republican Donald Trump or Democrat Kamala Harris is better equipped to handle key economic issues. Harris edges out Trump on topics like middle-class taxes, but both candidates are neck and neck when it comes to handling jobs and unemployment.
Despite a majority of voters describing the economy as poor and the country moving in the wrong direction, Trump has lost his previous advantage on economic matters. The poll highlights voters’ opinions on specific economic issues, with Harris leading on middle-class taxes and housing costs.
Trump retains strength in immigration, while Harris excels in areas like abortion policy and climate change. However, there are signs of weakness for Harris within her own party on issues like foreign affairs. Overall, the survey underscores challenges for both candidates as they aim to secure voter support across different demographics.
As the election nears, younger voters express more pessimism about the economy than older demographics, potentially impacting Harris’s support base. Trump maintains an advantage on immigration, while Harris shines in areas like abortion policy and climate change.
The candidates are about even on crime, but Harris faces reluctance within the Democratic party on foreign affairs. The overall sentiment remains mixed, with voters expressing concerns on various fronts and evaluating the candidates’ strengths and weaknesses on critical issues.
