Two massive points for Trump, the financial system and the notion of sturdy management, have now turn into tied with Kamala Harris in a brand new ballot.
Puck reported on their new ballot with Echelon Insights:
A brand new survey from Echelon Insights, which is partnering with Puck for unique polling on the 2024 citizens, means that the tolerant-but-tough message is working. In one of many few surveys carried out totally after the D.N.C., a ballot of doubtless voters carried out from Friday to Sunday discovered Harris working about even with Trump
on a spread of attributes that beforehand favored the Republican nominee.
On the query of which candidate is “a powerful chief,” Trump leads Harris by just one level, 48 % to 47 %. Who would do higher at “maintaining the nation protected”? Once more, Trump leads by one level, 47-46. “Good at managing a disaster”? They’re tied, 46-46. Harris can also be trailing Trump by solely a single level (48-47) on the query of which candidate “would make our financial system work higher.” On just about each single query about energy or toughness—and on questions the place Republicans would possibly sometimes lead—Harris has basically erased Joe Biden’s deficits in opposition to Trump.
Trump has been making an attempt to promote himself as a powerful chief for years. Till Harris obtained within the race, Trump had led Biden on the financial system. If voters not view Trump as a powerful chief or sturdy on the financial system, then why would anybody exterior of the Republican Occasion vote for him?
It is only one ballot, however it signifies that the Democratic Occasion was profitable with its conference. Voters view Harris as even with Trump in lots of areas the place Republicans had been hoping that the ex-president would have a bonus.
Outdoors of the border, it’s tough to see the place Trump has a lot of a bonus on the problems. If different polling confirms these outcomes, the Trump marketing campaign will doubtless concentrate on private assaults on Harris that aren’t working.
If Kamala Harris takes the lead on the financial system, it will put Democrats in a very good place to win in November.
