The economy is a major issue among voters and has been a huge talking point since the start of the election cycle.
Vice President Kamala Harris has cut former President Donald Trump’s advantage in half when it comes to the economy, according to a poll released on Sunday.
The economy is a major issue among voters and has been a huge talking point since the start of the election cycle when Trump, the GOP presidential nominee, was up against President Joe Biden. When Biden exited the race in July, he endorsed Harris and she eventually won the Democratic Party’s nomination. While Harris still has a way to go in convincing voters that she is better for the economy, she has so far fared better than Biden on the subject.
In a national poll conducted by NBC News from September 13 to 17, Trump was ahead of Harris on issues of the economy by 9 points (50 to 41 percent). While this is a blow to Harris who made it a point to talk about her economic policies on the debate stage in Philadelphia earlier this month, she has improved the perception of how Democrats would handle the economy if they continued to run the White House.
When NBC News asked voters whether Trump or Biden would be better at handling the economy in January, Trump was ahead of Biden by 22 points.
Sunday’s NBC News poll surveyed 1,000 registered voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. The NBC News poll from January 26 to 30 had a sampling size of 1,000 registered voters and a margin of error of 3.
