Trump’s Edge on the Economy Is Shrinking

“The economy is still the No. 1 issue in the presidential election. Voters rated it as their top priority in the latest New York Times/Siena College poll, as they have in every Times/Siena poll this year,” the New York Times reports.

“And while former President Donald Trump remains the more trusted candidate in terms of handling the economy, Vice President Kamala Harris has closed much of the gap.”

“Her improvement was primarily concentrated among nonwhite voters, particularly nonwhite voters without a college degree. This group was evenly divided, 45 percent to 45 percent, in September on which candidate would best handle economic concerns; they now favor Ms. Harris by 26 percentage points.”
