A new survey from AP-NORC has found that, while only 38% of voters believe the economy is in good shape, voters are split on whether Trump or Harris is better able to handle unemployment, the cost of groceries and housing, or tariffs.
- AP notes: “Trump’s most consistent advantage continues to be immigration, where he has an 8-percentage point advantage over Harris among registered voters. Harris does best on climate change, abortion policy, and election integrity, where she maintains an advantage of at least 20 percentage points among voters.”
- AP concludes: “…the findings reaffirm that Trump has lost what had been an advantage on the economy, which many voters say is the most important issue this election season above abortion, immigration, crime and foreign affairs.”
