Harris edges past Trump in economic trust, key states advantage
Financial Times published the latest poll concerning the presidential candidates in the United States. This should be a wake-up call for Donald Trump as it concerns economic trust from citizens—his usual domain. The Democrats, thanks to Harris, have taken the lead for the first time in a year since the beginning of the surveys.

A survey conducted for the Financial Times and the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan showed that Kamala Harris enjoys significantly greater trust in the economic sphere than current President Joe Biden.
First rating and Harris wins right away
Moreover, Harris not only improved in the latest poll on Biden's previous poll result but also outpaced Donald Trump, which is unprecedented in the history of these surveys. This is visible in the chart.
Harris's advantage is symbolic, barely percentage-wise, but it shows that voters trust her significantly more than Biden.
Harris gains again: key advantage in important states
This is another important poll that gives Harris reasons for optimism. Several hours ago, a study was published in which the Vice President of the USA surpassed Donald Trump in three key states—Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. The margin is 4 percentage points in each of these states.
This comes from a poll released on Saturday by Siena Polls for The New York Times.
In all three states, 50% of voters declared they would vote for Harris, while 46% supported Trump.
NYT emphasizes that for nearly a year, opinion polls indicated a tie between Trump and President Joe Biden or a slight advantage for the Republican candidate.
