A recent ABC News/Ipsos poll revealed that President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are tied in terms of voter trust when it comes to handling issues of inflation and the economy. While 88% of respondents identified the economy as a key issue, only 30% cited inflation as a concern. When asked which candidate they trusted more to handle the economy, 46% favored Trump compared to 45% for Biden, indicating that voters have mixed opinions about both candidates’ ability to manage economic issues.
Despite these findings, the poll showed that Trump and Biden are neck-and-neck in the race for president, with Trump leading Biden by just one percentage point at 46% to 45%. Among registered voters, Biden had a slight lead over Trump at 46% to 45%, while among likely voters, Biden’s support increased to 49% with Trump at 45%. This suggests that there may be some undecided voters who are still weighing their options before casting their ballots.
In addition to these findings, the poll also highlighted the divided opinions of voters on key economic issues. While many voters expressed distrust in both candidates when it comes to tackling inflation and other economic concerns, others were more optimistic about their abilities. Overall, this suggests that the upcoming election will be highly competitive and will depend heavily on how each candidate is able to sway undecided voters.
