A plurality, 45 percent, of voters believe their “personal finances” will be better off if former President Donald Trump defeats Vice President Kamala Harris in November, while only 25 percent say the same if Harris wins, a CBS News/YouGov poll found Sunday.
The polling indicates Americans are skeptical of the Biden-Harris administration’s economic policies. Under its leadership, prices rose about 20 percent across the board on average. Popeyes, Taco Bell, and Chipotle, for example, raised prices by at least 75 percent, according to the Food Institute.
At least five times Harris praised the policies that fueled the rising costs:
- July 24, 2023: “Bidenomics is working”
- August 3, 2023: “Bidenomics is working”
- August 4, 2023: “Bidenomics is working”
- August 8, 2023: “Bidenomics is working”
- August 15, 2023: “Bidenomics is working”
The poll also found in contrast that forty-four percent said they will be worse off if Harris wins, as only 38 percent said the same if Trump wins.
