Harris edges out Trump on who voters trust more with the economy, new poll finds

Vice President Kamala Harris is catching up to former President Donald Trump on the number of voters who trust her handling of the economy, according to a new Financial Times/Michigan Ross poll.

The monthly survey found that 42% of voters trust Harris on economic issues, one percentage point more than the Republican presidential nominee. It is a razor-thin lead that falls well within the poll’s margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points. The poll, released Sunday, surveyed 1,001 registered voters from Aug. 1 to Aug. 5.

Other polls have found Trump significantly ahead of Harris on economic issues. The most recent CNBC All-America Economic Survey, for example, found voters think they will be financially better off under Trump than Harris by a 2-to-1 margin.
