Trump holds 18-point lead over Harris on economy: Survey
Former President Trump holds an 18-point lead over Vice President Harris on the economy, according to a new survey from CNBC.
Forty-two percent of registered voters in the CNBC survey said they believe they “would be better off financially if Donald Trump wins,” while 24 percent said they believe they “would be better off financially if Kamala Harris wins.”
The survey took place Oct. 15-19, only a few weeks before Election Day. Early voting has begun in some states, as only 0.9 points separate Harris and Trump in an average of national polls from The Hill/Decision Desk HQ.
A recent poll from The Associated Press and NORC Center for Public Affairs found voters split on trusting Harris or Trump more on multiple important economic issues. When it comes to the issue of prices for groceries and gas, 40 percent of registered voters in the poll trusted the vice president more, while 42 percent trusted the former president more. On jobs and unemployment, 43 percent favored Harris, while 41 percent favored Trump.
Multiple winners of the Nobel Prize in economics have come out in support of Harris’s vision for the economy, saying that it is “vastly better” in comparison to Trump’s.
“Harris’s economic agenda will improve our nation’s health, investment, sustainability, resilience, employment opportunities, and fairness,” the more than 20 winners said in an open letter.
In the CNBC survey, Trump topped Harris by 2 points, with the former president garnering 48 percent support from registered voters and the vice president garnering 46 percent support.
The CNBC survey featured 1,000 registered voters and a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.
