Donald Trump voters anxious about economy, Kamala Harris voters are not

With Matt Gaetz tapped for AG, who could fill his congressional seat?

25% of Floridians say they are better off than they were 12 months ago, with 46% saying they are doing worse.

One major difference between supporters of the two major party candidates in the presidential election is how they see the economy.

Those voting for Democrat Kamala Harris feel better about the status quo than do Donald Trump backers, per the latest polling from Redfield and Wilton.

38% of Harris supporters in Florida say their economic situation has improved in the last year, compared to 27% who claim they are worse off.

Conversely, 62% of Trump partisans say they are worse off, while just 15% say they are better off year over year.

Overall, 25% of Floridians say they are better off than they were 12 months ago, with 46% saying they are doing worse.

Though many pollsters don’t consider Florida to be a swing state, this one does, and says they see these trends in other states (Arizona, Georgia, Minnesota, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, and Wisconsin) that are part of this survey.

“In eight of the ten states, a plurality or majority of likely Trump voters (41%-52%) are anxious, rather than confident, in their ability to make ends meet in every swing state. By contrast, more likely Harris voters (44%-58%) are confident in their ability to make ends meet rather than anxious in every swing state polled.”

Trump knows only one thing: fear. Fear fed by lies. And the lie that only he can fix it – which is ridiculous.

Kamala Harris deserves credit for building a diverse coalition that has support from Dick Cheney and AOC. Now that requires some leadership skill.

As is often said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts – and the economic data shows that the US has the strongest economy on the planet.

Trump voters are anxious about the economy because they’re gullible enough to be conned about allegedly poor economic conditions merely because prices are higher than they were 6 years ago.

Prices go up over time, just like the stock market, and just the number of voters go up over time.

If prices were lower today than 6 years ago, that would mean Biden Harris had failed to avert the Trump Depression that was nearly upon USA.

We live in a country with the world’s largest and best economy. We live in a country with the lowest inflation on planet earth. We live in a country with one of the lowest unemployment rates on planet earth!

Today’s Republicans are such victims! They’re sad and miserable about everything our great country has to offer.

The government had little or nothing to do with a person personal.money,the rich have gotten richer off the back of poor people,the only the government can do for some people to get ahead is by increasing the minimum wage to 10 dollars and cap interest rates 10 points above the rates the government pays on government securities,unless you win the lottery or come into a lots of money from a distant uncle,you generally gonna be in the same economical situations forever

Equity index funds returned 26% in 2023 and are on track for the same or better this year. Inflation is 2.5%.

Too bad Republicans invested in Trump Media stock and Trump Bitcoin. They could have joined me on the beach sipping Coronas with Snoop.

Trump knows nothing of economics, history, morals, character, empathy, or bringing to the fore our “Better angels”. Trump does know, and is a master at preaching divisiveness and hatred,

I lived in CA when Kamala first destroyed San Francisco with her sanctuary city policies and then all of CA when she became AG. She is a true anarchist Marxist who believes in reparations, open borders, and destroying the working middle class by redistributing the wealth they worked for to illegal immigrants.

The choice for this election is simple. Either a vote for individual freedom and capitalism or a vote for income redistribution and Communism. Don’t be duped by the slogan to make history by voting for the first black female president. You’ll be voting for making the entire U.S. like San Francisco, Chicago or New York.

  LEFT OUT:
  Income disparities and a tax system that puts the burden on the middle class while giving huge tax breaks and etc. to the wealthiest and large corporations.
