The question of which presidency would better serve the U.S. economy—Kamala Harris or Donald Trump—has become a hotly debated topic, with opinions sharply divided between voters and economists. A recent poll indicates that voters lean slightly toward Trump as the candidate they trust more to handle the ailing economy.
According to a monthly survey conducted in conjunction with the University of Michigan Ross School of Business, 44% of registered voters expressed confidence in Trump’s economic management, compared to 43% who favored Harris. When asked which candidate would likely leave them better off financially, 45% opted for Trump while 37% chose Harris. These numbers reflect a significant shift in voter sentiment just weeks ahead of the upcoming elections, as many seem to be losing faith in Harris’s ability to ensure economic stability.

Despite strong economic indicators such as low unemployment and notable growth, voters appear hesitant to credit President Biden and Vice President Harris for these improvements. The poll suggests that Harris’s economic proposals may have lost momentum, as public perception increasingly favors Trump in matters of fiscal policy. In fact, 51% of respondents claimed they felt “much” or “somewhat” better off during Trump's presidency, whereas only 28% reported the same under Biden's administration.
On the other hand, not all assessments align with public sentiment. A group of 23 Nobel Prize-winning economists has voiced strong support for Harris's economic strategy, labeling it “vastly superior.” In an open letter, these economists acknowledged their varying perspectives on specific policies but unanimously asserted that Harris's agenda could lead to enhanced national health, investment, sustainability, resilience, job opportunities, and economic fairness. They criticized Trump’s policies as counterproductive, contrasting the two candidates' approaches to governance.
As the election draws nearer, the debate continues over the economic effectiveness of each candidate, pitting public opinion against expert analysis in a critical assessment of the future direction of the U.S. economy. The contrasting views highlight the complexity of economic leadership and the importance of informed discussions as voters prepare to make a decision that could impact the nation for years to come.
