Seven of 10 Americans say the economy is getting worse and 47% trust Republican front-runner and former President Donald Trump to fix it, a margin 11 points better than President Joe Biden, according to a USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Wednesday.
The news gets more dire for Biden, with 34% of Democrats saying the economy is getting worse, according to the survey. Further, 46% of independents trust Trump more to fix the economy vs. 26% to Biden.
The Trump campaign touted the poll results in a Thursday morning email: "USA Today: "President Joe Biden is selling an economic rebound. But most Americans aren't buying it, according to an exclusive poll from the Suffolk University Sawyer Business School and USA TODAY."
