The majority of Americans still trust Republicans and President Donald Trump’s ability to handle the economy over Democrats, according to a Harvard CAPS/Harris poll released on Monday.
More than half of voters — 55% — said that they trust the GOP and the Trump administration to be able to “manage” the U.S. economy, according to the newly released poll. The other 45% of respondents said they had more faith in congressional Democrats’ ability to handle the economy, the survey says.
