(TheProudRepublic.com) – A new survey revealed that most Americans favor GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump over his opponent, Kamala Harris when it comes to managing the economy and personal finances.
Despite liberal economists’ warnings, Americans trust the former president’s proven track record over empty promises from the Biden-Harris administration.
According to a Bankrate survey, 42% of Americans believe Trump would be best for their personal financial situation, compared to a mere 38% for Harris. This preference persists even as the liberal media attempts to paint a rosy picture of the current economy.
The survey exposed the deep divide between hardworking Americans and out-of-touch Democrats. A staggering 83% of Republicans rightly believe the economy is on the wrong track, while only 27% of Democrats share this view.
Despite the Biden administration’s claims of economic improvement, Americans remain pessimistic as inflation continues to outpace wage growth, leaving families struggling to make ends meet.
Also, 41% of Americans consider inflation their top economic concern for the 2024 presidential election.
Bureau Chief for Bankrate Mark Hamrick said:
“Since her shotgun start as a Presidential nominee, Vice President Harris has had to work quickly to introduce herself to the American public in a more substantial way, while seeking to differentiate herself from President Joe Biden to a degree and from former President Trump to a larger degree.”
“That is a work still in progress,” he added.
This statement perfectly shows Harris’ struggle to connect with voters on economic issues as she scrambles to establish her identity, while Trump’s economic accomplishments speak for themselves.
Moreover, Trump’s economic plan emphasizes deregulation, better inflation rates during his presidency and tariffs on Chinese goods.
These are the policies that led to a booming economy before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. In contrast, the Biden-Harris administration has only offered empty rhetoric and failed policies.
Meanwhile, a New York Times/Siena College poll found that 54% of Americans trust Trump on the economy, compared to just 41% for Harris.
It also is important to note that presidential impact on stock prices is often minimal. However, Trump’s policies could benefit crucial sectors like banking and oil, which are essential for American energy independence and economic growth.
