According to a New York Times/Philadelphia Inquirer/Siena College poll, 54% of Pennsylvanians trust Trump to handle the economy compared to just 42% who prefer Biden on the issue.
Former President Donald Trump leads President Joe Biden on the economy by double digits statewide and is polling nearly even with him on the issue in the Philly suburbs.
Voters often pointed to the cost of groceries and gas, which are significantly higher than they were when Biden took office. Though the rate of inflation has slowed, the cost of goods remains high. Economic indicators, however, are broadly good. The U.S. unemployment rate is low at 3.9% in April and the inflation rate had dropped to just 3.5% in March. Inflation spiked early in Biden’s presidency, reaching 9% in June of 2022.
“If you asked a macroeconomist, which I am one, what’s the state of the U.S. economy they’ll tell you what you hear said all over the place, that as an industrialized growing economy it’s stronger than any other one.”
