Shock poll reveals who Americans think is more trustworthy on the economy between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris

Americans trust Kamala Harris much more than Joe Biden to handle the No. 1 issue in the 2024 election, a new poll reveals.

Democrats are seeing a major boost in who registered voters want in charge of the economy after Harris took over the president's 2024 campaign.

And now, the vice president has even pulled ahead of former President Donald Trump in this metric, according to a Financial Times/University of Michigan Ross School of Business poll released on Sunday.

Trump's standing on economic issues remained unchanged from July to August, with 41 percent approving of his handling.

Meanwhile, Harris has a 1-point advantage, which is well within the August 1-5 survey's 3.1 percent margin of error.

A new poll shows Kamala Harris surging to a position ahead of Donald Trump is handling the economy as Joe Biden repeatedly ranked below the former president 

But Harris' 42 percent approval among 1,001 registered voters is a huge 7-point jump from Biden's results last month where he stood at just 35 percent.

From February onward, Biden has remained between 31 percent and 37 percent on those who trust him to handle the U.S. economy amid soaring inflation and near recession-level conditions.

Meanwhile, Trump has stayed above 40 percent within the same time period.

Half of respondents said that the economy has gotten worse since Biden became president in 2021 and a whopping 73 percent of voters say that they view the U.S. economic conditions negatively.

But Biden exiting and Harris entering the race has shaken up Americans' thoughts on who is better suited to handle economic issues.

Americans constantly rank the economy as the biggest factor affecting their vote in November. 

Harris was able to recover 7 percentage points from registered voters who trust the Democratic candidate to handle the U.S. economy

University of Michigan professor Erik Gordon said of the results: 'The fact that voters were more positive on Harris than on Biden . . . says as much about how badly Biden was doing as it does about how well Harris is doing.'

Trump and his surrogates claim Harris is seeing a 'honeymoon phase' after entering the race last month that they think will soon wear off.

Democratic enthusiasm skyrocketed after Harris took over her 81-year-old boss' campaign.

But Republicans say it still isn't enough to defeat Trump in November.
