A recent AP-NORC poll indicates that U.S. voters are split on whether Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump would be more effective in managing the economy. As both candidates ramp up their campaign efforts, recent surveys show they are now seeing equal support on economic issues, with polls highlighting a growing trust in Harris's economic plans following her debate performances. Despite these developments, voter pessimism about the economy remains a concern for both, suggesting that neither candidate has a decisive advantage as they head into the election. Additionally, focus groups reveal that many voters are unclear about each candidate's specific economic proposals, leaving questions about how their policies will resonate with the electorate.
