Harris leads Trump among suburban voters: Survey
Vice President Harris is leading former President Trump by 6 percentage points among suburban voters, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling released Thursday.
The survey, taken across September and October, shows Harris leading Trump among the group, 47 percent to 41 percent.
Harris is also leading Trump 45 percent to 43 percent among households with an annual income between $50,000 and $100,000.
But the ex-president still maintains a lead with voters who prioritize the economy as the No. 1 issue heading into the general election; 46 percent of respondents said Trump was more equipped to handle the issue, compared to 38 percent who were in favor of Harris.
Trump has also bested Harris on the issue of crime in recent polling.
But analysts said Harris’s campaign speeches geared toward building an “opportunity economy” have proven effective with voters.
"Her focus on affordability has been highly effective in narrowing Trump's advantage on inflation and the economy," David Wasserman, a political analyst at the Cook Political Report, told Reuters.
Since Harris became the Democratic nominee in July, she’s bolstered the party’s support from suburbanites by 9 points, staging a major comeback from when President Biden was trailing Trump 43 percent to 40 percent.
Harris also received a 6 point boost over Biden among the roughly one-third of the nation that earns between $50,000 and $100,000 annually.
Data was collected from 6,000 registered voters across six Reuters/Ipsos polls.
