Fox News
A majority of voters say the economy is the most important issue going into the presidential election, and Trump holds a 9-point lead over Harris on the topic.
Veteran Democratic strategist Hank Sheinkopf says Democrats are simply confident in Harris' plan to handle the economy.

"Independents are looking for a reason to vote for a candidate, but they just haven't found it yet," Sheinkopf told Fox News Digital in an interview. "Americans focus on the issue most important to them in every election. This time it’s their pockets. And they are still feeling pain no matter what candidates say. Time is running out for Harris to prove she can make it better."
He went on to argue that the economy is no less politicized an issue as immigration or abortion, suggesting polarization has an outsized impact on voter's opinions on the economy.
