‘Big Deal’: Pollster Reveals Two Key Factors Keeping Trump-Harris Race Neck And Neck

Pollster Chris Wilson said Monday that the 2024 presidential race is close due to former President Donald Trump’s strong economic polling and increased support among Hispanic voters.

Trump holds a 12-point lead over Vice President Kamala Harris on economic issues, according to a recent Wall Street Journal poll. Wilson, on Fox Business, said voters’ belief they would fare better economically under Trump, along with Hispanics shifting toward him, is keeping him competitive against Harris, compared to his 2020 polling against President Joe Biden.

“I would also point out, from an overall polling perspective, that at this point in 2020, Biden and Harris had an eight-point lead over Trump and Pence,” Wilson said. “So the fact that it’s a dead heat right now, I think speaks well for where Donald Trump is positioned, but the thing that really stood out for me on this poll … economic concerns … Trump is favored by voters on this issue … Only 25% of people in the poll said they expect to be better off financially if Harris wins compared to 45% for Trump. That is a big deal and it matters. And nearly half of voters say President Trump’s policies will make them financially better off.”

Wilson was referencing a CBS News poll published on Sunday, which also found that 44% of voters believe they would be “financially worse off” if Harris is victorious.

Harris gained sufficient delegates on Friday to secure the Democratic Party’s nomination for President during a virtual roll call process orchestrated by the Democratic National Committee, with almost no primary voter approval. Trump is beating Harris by .8% nationally,
