The Economy Under Trump vs. Biden

Former President Donald Trump is running on his economic record from his four years in office. Vice President Kamala Harris isn’t at the helm at the White House, but President Biden’s record is, in effect, hers.

Americans have consistently given Trump better marks on the economy than Biden—to the frustration of Biden’s advisers, who complain the president hasn’t gotten the credit he deserves. While recent polls suggest Harris is making up ground on the economy, she still trails.
