Trump's Economic Trust Grows After Debate as Harris Struggles

In a stunning and revealing outcome from the recent presidential debate, confidence in former President Donald Trump has surged among voters, especially regarding economic issues.

Following the debate against Vice President Kamala Harris, a CNN poll indicates that the percentage of voters who trust Trump more on the economy has increased significantly—from a 16-point advantage to a remarkable 20-point lead.


Before the debate, Trump held a solid 53% to 37% advantage over Harris in voter trust regarding economic matters. After the debate concluded, that lead expanded to 55% to 35%.

During the debate, Trump was clear and assertive about his economic philosophy, emphasizing the disastrous inflation levels consumers currently face.

"We’ve had a terrible economy because inflation has — which is really known as a country buster," Trump stated, drawing attention to an issue that resonates deeply with American households.

Voter sentiment around economic issues is critical as polls consistently show that a large majority of Americans prioritize the economy over other concerns. According to CBS News, around 80% of adults stated that the economy is a major factor in their voting choice—a sentiment echoed by various surveys indicating inflation and employment as pressing issues for voters.

Notably, Trump's gains in trust are particularly pronounced among independents and Latino voters. New polling data reveals that Trump captured a 14-point increase among independents, while expanding his appeal among Latino voters.

These developments come at a time when Harris struggles to maintain momentum with declining trust levels. Her initial surge following her nomination seems to have plateaued, as evidenced by Trump closing the gap significantly among various demographics.

With nearly 70% of the electorate tuning in to the debate and many asserting that it wouldn’t sway their decision, it is evident that perceptions are firmly rooted in the candidates' track records on critical issues.

For Republicans, the results of the debate signify a compelling opportunity. As Trump continues to lay out his vision for economic renewal, his dialogue contrasts sharply with the current administration's handling of financial matters.

The stakes couldn't be higher as both candidates prepare for the future, but for now, it appears Trump has cemented a firm standing when it comes to the economic trust of the American people.
