Former President Donald Trump has traditionally outperformed Harris in this area, as voters remain frustrated with inflation during the Biden administration and recall the economy before COVID-19. However, a CBS News\/YouGov poll reveals that Harris is starting to close the gap with Trump among those who prioritize economic matters. Currently, 47% of these voters support Harris compared to 53% for Trump; last month, those figures were 43% for Harris and 56% for Trump. Harris shows stronger appeal among voters who view the economy as stable or improving. Despite her progress, a significant majority\u201459%\u2014still consider the national economy to be in poor condition, while only 39% believe it is doing well. This marks an improvement from last month when 62% rated the economy poorly versus 35% positively. The shift in economic perception poses challenges for Trump since much of his backing from independents and swing voters stemmed from their belief that he was more adept at managing economic issues. He continues to lead on immigration policy; however, Harris has recently adopted a tougher stance on border issues. Democrats have attempted to hold Trump accountable for border challenges while Harris emphasizes her legal background as evidence of her capability on this front. The latest poll also reflects ongoing support among many voters for Trump&#8217;s plan advocating mass deportations of undocumented immigrants. Conducted between September 18-20 with a sample size of 3,129 registered voters, this poll carries a margin of error of +\/-2.2%<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2653,"featured_media":2344431,"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\/09\/Feat.TrumpDelulu-0925.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[41441,4021,3634],"class_list":["post-2344430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-economic-voters","tag-harris","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Feat.TrumpDelulu-0925.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2344430","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\/2653"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2344430"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2344430\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2344431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2344430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2344430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2344430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
