FT Michigan Ross poll shows Democratic candidate leading on the issue for first time in nearly a year

A new Financial Times/Michigan Ross School of Business poll finds more Americans trust Kamala Harris to handle the economy than Donald Trump, 42% to 41%.

Also interesting: “Fully 60% of those surveyed said Harris should either break completely from the president’s economic policies or ‘make major changes’ to his platform.”

    It’s basically contrasting with Biden, who was less trusted on the economy than Trump. And that is likely because the average person seems to be utterly incapable of understanding that a president isn’t a god that can snap their fingers and resolve global economic issues, and so they think that since interest rates were lower when Trump was in power, he must be some economic genius.
