Kamala’s campaign is floundering. She’s looking for anything to keep her afloat.
And Harris’s worst fears about Donald Trump were just confirmed by a bombshell report.
The past few weeks have not been kind to Kamala Harris and her campaign. The polls are not looking good for her in key swing states that she must win, including Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Her media appearances have not been received well. She’s just not in good shape.
Now more bad news is on the way. This time it’s a major indicator that has historically been the most important factor in a presidential election. That is, of course, public sentiment on the economy and which presidential candidate they trust more on the economy. What are Americans saying? They definitely trust Donald Trump more than Kamala Harris on this key issue.
Kamala Harris Underwater On Economy, Trump Handily Wins
A recent Gallup poll indicates that registered voters prefer former President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris when it comes to handling the economy, which they rank as the most critical issue in the upcoming presidential election. The survey, released on Wednesday, reveals that 54% of voters trust Trump with economic matters, compared to 45% who favor Harris.
The economy’s significance is underscored by the poll’s findings that 52% of respondents consider it “extremely important,” while 38% deem it “very important.” This marks the highest level of concern for economic issues among voters since the Great Recession in October 2008, when Gallup recorded similar sentiments at 55%.
The poll highlights a stark partisan divide regarding economic priorities. A significant 66% of Republican and Republican-leaning voters identify the economy as extremely important, whereas only 36% of Democrats and Democrat-leaning voters share this view. The top issues for Republicans include the economy, immigration, terrorism and national security, crime, and taxes—none of which overlap with the priorities of Democrats, who focus on democracy, judicial appointments for the U.S. Supreme Court, abortion, healthcare, and education.
When considering the broader spectrum of voter concerns, the top issues following the economy include democracy, terrorism and national security, judicial picks, immigration, and education. Conversely, the least important issues across party lines are race relations, relations with China, trade, climate change, and transgender rights.
In addition to economic concerns, Trump also holds a lead over Harris in immigration, with a nine-point advantage, and a five-point lead in foreign affairs. On the other hand, Harris surpasses Trump in several key areas, leading by 26 points on climate change, 16 points on abortion, and 10 points on healthcare.
The Gallup poll surveyed 941 registered voters nationally between September 16 and September 28, with a margin of error of four percentage points.
According to the Gallup survey, the economy is also as important as ever for Americans right now. By their estimates, the economy hasn’t been this important of a political issue for Americans since the depression in the 1930s. That’s extra bad news for Kamala Harris since she is losing on this issue.

Major Political Realignment Happening In Real-Time
There’s an interesting political realignment happening right now. That is the Democrats are aligning themselves with upper class elitism, parading around Kamala Harris’s endorsement from the big bank oligarchs. She’s proud of the fact that Goldman Sachs has endorsed her plans for the economy over that of Donald Trump’s.
It would be unfathomable in decades past for the Democrats to be proud about the richest and most elite individuals being in their corner while the masses are endorsing the Republican. This is not the your grandfather’s Democrat Party anymore.
