Nearly a quarter of American voters believe they would do so if Donald Trump wins the presidential election, according to polling conducted at the start of a Republican convention. I’m prepared to rule through the consequences of an assassination attempt on the candidate. Am.
The national poll was conducted at a climactic moment, before a lone gunman opened fire on Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday. The survey nevertheless underscores Trump’s lead in the financial system with voters heading into the November election.
While 40-5 percent of voters — including 40 percent of independents — said they would be “very” or “somewhat” down on Trump in the future, only 35 percent said they would be “very” down on Trump, according to the Financial Times and Michigan on Monday. According to the latest survey conducted for Ross College of Industry, the situation is ”or” somewhat” worse.
The monthly FT-Ross College of Industry survey tracks financial sentiment and voter reviews in the run-up to the November presidential election.
Trump has consistently polled better than Democratic President Joe Biden on matters of the financial system. Although financial data has shown strong growth, low unemployment and falling inflation in recent months, Biden has failed to convince citizens who continue to try to put up with higher prices that his fiscal policies are working.
Trump has argued that the economy was strong under his leadership before the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, and on the campaign trail vowed to ease laws, lower taxes and rapidly increase price lists on imports if each Another 4 years within the permitted white area.
Biden’s struggles appear to be in line with voters’ perceptions about inflation. Over the past three months, 77 percent of US citizens said they believe inflation has increased – with 44 percent saying they believe it has increased – even as it has slowed.
The latest official data showed US inflation fell more sharply than expected to three per cent in June – more than six points above the nine per cent reached two years ago.
Over the same period, only 32 percent of voters said they benefited from the record run on Wall Boulevard, with 49 percent saying they did not benefit “at all” from the latest record high for equities. ,
“Trump is still beating Biden on handling the economy,” said Eric Gordon of Ross. “Given that the economy is the most important factor driving voting intentions, Biden needs to appeal to a broader voter base.”
The untouched FT-Ross Michigan effect has been primary since Biden’s damaging debate efficiency peak moment. His philanthropy ranking has fallen by two percentage points over the past few months, with 40 percent of Americans saying they think he was doing a good job as president, up from 42 percent in June.
However it is on financial issues where Biden continues to exert maximum effort. Only 18 percent of respondents said they felt better off economically since Biden became president, compared with 49 percent who said they felt worse off. A third said there were disagreeable trades. These numbers have changed little since voting began in November.
The poll was conducted between July 8 and 10, after a debate that came to a close after Democrats were left torn over whether the president was mentally prepared to continue his campaign or govern for another four years. Were.
On the question of which candidate they trust more to handle the economy, with just 35 percent choosing Biden, I’m already sick of the debate because of two things. Trump was unchanged from the previous survey at 41 percent.
Despite respectable consumer price index data showing inflation slowing, nearly 4 in 5 survey respondents said price increases were one of the biggest sources of their financial pressure in the recent past.
“Biden is not winning the perception battle on inflation,” Gordon said. “The strategy of talking about better CPI numbers has not convinced voters that inflation has come down.”
The FT-Michigan Ross poll was conducted online by Democratic strategists International Technics staff and Republican polling agency North Big Opinion Analysis. It reflects reviews of 1,005 registered voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
