Harris and Trump economic policies divide voters and economists

There's another big divide emerging in this election. This time it's between voters and economists, finds new polling from the Wall Street Journal.

Why it matters: In their presidential campaigns, both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are proposing economic policies that are really popular with voters. Mainstream economists, meanwhile, find these ideas "appalling," the Journal notes.

Zoom in: 79% of voters like Trump and Harris's pitch to eliminate taxes on tips. Only 10% of economists support the idea. Many have said it unfairly favors one group of workers, creates incentives to cheat the tax system, and raises deficits.

None of the 39 economists surveyed by the WSJ approved of Trump's idea to put tariffs on all imported goods.

Similarly, voters like Harris' idea of penalizing companies for price gouging, but only 13% of economists support it.
