National political surveys are having difficulty adjusting to the reenergized Democratic presidential campaign, but two regularly updated polls show Trump with an advantage. According to new data from CNBC and Rasmussen Reports released on Thursday, Trump has a slight lead attributed to rising economic concerns and increased support from middle-aged voters. CNBC reports that Trump is ahead by 2 points, at 48%-46%, which falls within the margin of error. In this survey, respondents favor Trump over Harris by a 2-to-1 ratio when it comes to handling economic issues.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, while Harris has managed to boost Democratic backing among younger voters, there has been a notable shift towards Trump among millennials and Generation X. The poll indicates that young voters now support Harris more than they did Biden\u2014by a margin of 10 points\u2014while backing for Trump stands at just 2 points in an NBC July poll. However, there was a significant 12-point swing towards Trump among those aged 35-49, who now favor him by 9 points.<\/p>\n<p>In the Rasmussen Reports poll, Trump&#8217;s lead remains steady at 49%-44% in direct competition with Harris. A significant change noted in this survey is the apparent decrease in support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who dropped from 5% last week to just 3%. Consequently, Trump&#8217;s lead over Harris in this multi-candidate scenario has grown to 49%-44%<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2647,"featured_media":2321110,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Trump-rally-Atlanta.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[37532,16175,15638,3634,32076],"class_list":["post-2321109","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-generation-x","tag-millennials","tag-polls","tag-trump","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Trump-rally-Atlanta.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2321109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2647"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2321109"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2321109\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2321110"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2321109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2321109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2321109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
