Americans of all political stripes seem to agree the country faces a lot of challenges. But whom do voters trust more to deal with these issues? Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, or Republican candidate Donald Trump? The voters spoke, and Trump wins, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
Specifically, in the September I&I/TIPP Poll, 1,386 registered voters were asked this question: “Regardless of whom you support, whom do you trust more on the following issues?”
Voters were given 10 issues of national importance, including “Securing the border,” “Lowering the national debt,” “Improving national security,” “Reducing crime,” “Growing the economy,” “Implementing a strong foreign policy,” “Ensuring energy security/energy independence,” “Fixing inflation,” “Cutting spending,” and “Reducing taxes.”
There were three possible answers for each: “Kamala Harris,” “Donald Trump,” or “not sure.”
The winner: Trump, who was judged by voters to be better in eight of the 10 categories. Even so, with a +/-2.8 percentage-point margin of error, the results were a statistical dead-heat in a number of issues.
