Handling Of Economy Weighs On Biden In 'Battleground' States

US

A new survey from Bloomberg and Morning Consult has found that, “Donald Trump is leading President Joe Biden in several key swing states as voters reject the economic message that is central to Biden’s reelection bid.”

  • Bloomberg: “A 51% majority of swing-state voters said the national economy was better off during the Trump administration, and similar numbers said they would trust Trump over Biden on the economy going forward, 49% to 35%. Among independent voters, the chasm on trust to handle the economy is even wider, with a 22-point advantage for Trump.”
  • Caroline Bye, a pollster and vice president at Morning Consult, said: “Right now, Biden is not getting any credit for work he’s done on the economy. Almost twice as many voters in the swing states are saying that Bidenomics is bad for the economy, as opposed to good for the economy, which is a really startling fact if you’re the Biden campaign.”
