A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday finds that Donald Trump’s lead over Kamala Harris on the economy has nearly vanished, which could make her recently announced economic plan—touted across three new ads—all the more potent.
The economy is always at or near the top of voters’ list of concerns, and this new poll is no different, finding that 26% of registered voters put the economy as their top issue, compared with 22% who said political extremism and threats to democracy, and 13% who chose immigration. On the economy, Harris trails Trump by just 3 percentage points, 40% to 43%, which is within margin of error. In July, the same poll gave Trump an 11-point lead on the issue.
