Trump Vs Harris: New poll reveals who will put money in pockets of middle class
A poll reveals that the economy remains a primary concern, conducted entirely after last week’s debate between the two presidential candidates.

Public opinion polls indicate that the competition in crucial battleground states is tightly contested, with results falling within the margin of error.
Amidst this backdrop, the economy emerges as the most significant concern for American voters.
A recent AP/NORC national poll highlights the economy as a primary focus, conducted entirely after last week’s debate between the two presidential nominees. The survey revealed that nearly 80% of respondents cited the economy as one of their top issues, significantly overshadowing other concerns.
Diverging Strengths on Key Issues
While Harris enjoys a substantial advantage regarding abortion rights, Trump holds a formidable lead on border and immigration issues. In terms of economic management, however, the candidates' standings fluctuate depending on the survey. A Fox News national poll indicates that 39% of voters consider the economy their most pressing issue, compared to immigration at 16% and abortion at 15%.Also Read : Ted Cruz on shaky wicket for November elections?

The economic recovery from the pandemic has been gradual, yet inflation continues to weigh heavily on the minds of Americans. Many respondents in the Fox News poll expressed concerns about rising grocery prices and housing costs, underscoring the urgency of economic discourse.
Trump’s Edge on Economic Matters
Polling data reveals that Trump consistently outperforms Harris on economic issues, although the margin varies significantly. According to a post-debate survey by the New York Times and Siena College, Trump leads Harris by 13 points. An ABC News Ipsos poll conducted shortly after the debate shows Trump ahead by 7 points. However, the Fox News poll narrows the gap, placing Trump just 5 points ahead, while the AP/NORC survey indicates a mere 2-point advantage.
Republican pollster Daron Shaw suggests that while Trump retains an edge on economic matters, this advantage has diminished, possibly due to Harris's effective messaging on housing costs and taxes, issues that resonate with the middle class.
