Harris narrows Trump's economy lead ahead of elections

A little over a month before the presidential elections in the USA, Kamala Harris is narrowing Donald Trump's lead in another area. This time, it concerns the economy, which has so far been a strong point for the Republican candidate seeking re-election.

According to the latest Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll, Kamala Harris has nearly neutralized Donald Trump's lead on economic issues.

The Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll in swing states shows that Harris currently leads among likely voters by 7 percentage points in Nevada, 5 points in Pennsylvania, 3 points in Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and 2 points in North Carolina. The candidates are tied in Georgia.

The poll's authors emphasize that the lead is within the margin of error. This confirms the theory that single votes will decide the winner in the November elections.

Change in swing states

Voters in swing states consistently stated that the economy is their highest priority in this election. They had long declared that they trusted Trump more.

This was an issue that Joe Biden's campaign could not handle when he was the Democratic candidate for president. Harris is doing significantly better.

Harris, the favorite of the middle class

The Vice President also has a noticeable 11-point lead among middle-class voters.

The results suggest that Harris is benefiting from a campaign focusing on the economic program, including promises of building more affordable housing, offering help with down payments for first-time home buyers, and the promise that the wealthy will pay more taxes.

Trump's economic message has recently taken a back seat in his campaign; his speeches often go off-topic, and ads prioritize immigration and crime.
