Voters May Be Noticing The Economy

No one should take polls as gospel, especially any one poll. We have talked before about the numerous problems in the current state of polling, but it is worth paying attention to the trend lines in the polling, and since Donald Trump’s felony conviction, there has been a clear movement toward President Biden.

The most interesting movement toward Biden was in a new Financial Times poll, and it related to the economy.

Trump’s lead among registered voters who were asked which of the two candidates they trusted more to handle the economy was just four points in June, down from 11 in February, according to the latest survey conducted for the Financial Times and the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business.

The poll was conducted from May 30 to June 3 — immediately after Trump’s criminal conviction in New York over “hush money” payments made to porn actor Stormy Daniels — and found 41 per cent of registered voters nationwide said they trusted Trump, compared with 37 per cent who put their trust in Biden. Seventeen per cent said they trusted neither.

It isn’t as if voters woke up the morning after Trump’s felony conviction and decided that he was not fit to lead the country on the economy. Trump has been religiously repeating the lie for a decade that his economy was the best in history.

However, it is also not a coincidence that the bottom started to fall out of Trump’s polling numbers after he was convicted of 34 felonies.

So, let’s talk about what is going on here.
