President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris did not receive positive marks for their management of the economy. Financial Times A poll from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business released Monday found that a majority want reform.
While only one in four voters rated the economy as “very good” or “good” under a Biden-Harris administration, 42% said the economy would be “much” or “somewhat” better if former President Donald Trump wins in November, compared with just 33% who said the same if Harris were president.
Harris faces the dilemma of replacing Biden as the top Democratic candidate.
Sixty percent said they wanted to make significant or complete changes to current economic policy, while just 11% said Harris should maintain her administration’s policies.
Twenty-nine percent said Harris should make small changes, 23% said she should make big changes, and a majority said Harris should “completely abandon” her administration’s policies.
Ignore the dire economic situation.
Ignore open borders.
Ignore the crime in your city.

“Two years ago today, I proudly voted in the runoff election to pass the Stop Inflation Act,” Harris boasted last week.
