Americans trust former President Donald Trump to handle the economy more than President Joe Biden, and that includes independent voters, a recent Suffolk University Sawyer Business School/USA TODAY poll found.
Most, 59 percent, disapprove of Biden’s handling of the economy. Perhaps what is worse for the 80-year-old president is the fact that 67 percent of independents and one-third of Democrats believe the economy is actively getting worse under his leadership.
When asked who they trust to better the economy, Americans chose Trump by a double-digit margin.
Forty-seven percent said they trust Trump to make the economy better, compared to 36 percent who said the same of Biden. That gap is even wider among independents, as 46 percent trust Trump to improve the economy, compared to 26 percent who chose Biden — a 20-point gap.
