Trump Still Has Trust in Handling Inflation and Economy, but Biden Leads in Some Key Areas

A recent poll by ABC News/Ipsos revealed that more voters trust former President Donald Trump over President Joe Biden in terms of handling inflation and the economy. According to the survey, 88% of respondents identified the economy as a critical issue, with 85% citing inflation as a significant concern.

Trump was favored by 46% of respondents to handle the economy, compared to Biden’s 32%. Additionally, 21% of respondents expressed distrust for both candidates on the issue. On inflation, 46% chose Trump and 30% opted for Biden. One-quarter of voters did not trust either candidate to address rising inflation.

Despite these preferences on key issues, Trump and Biden are neck and neck in the poll, with Trump leading Biden 46% to 44%. Ten percent of voters indicated they would support another candidate. However, among registered voters, Biden leads Trump by one percentage point, while among likely voters, Biden’s lead increased to four percentage points. Despite the varying opinions on economic and inflation issues, the race between Trump and Biden remains competitive in the eyes of voters.
