Poll: Biden has edge on Trump on fighting for the working class

Source: The Hill

Voters give a small edge to Joe Biden over President Trump when asked which presidential candidate fights more for the working class, 45 percent to 42 percent, respectively, in a new Hill-HarrisX poll.

Seven percent of voters say neither candidate fights for the working class, and 5 percent do not know.



Hill-HarrisX data also shows a plurality of voters view the Democratic Party over the Republican Party as fighting more for the working class, 46 percent to 36 percent.

"While the Democratic Party is still seen by voters as the bastion of the working class, Trump's appeal has always been as a fighter and change agent for the American worker. Therefore Trump is statistically tied with Joe Biden on the question of who will be the president that will fight more for the working class," Dritan Nesho, lead pollster with HarrisX, told Hill.TV.

$12T by George W. Bush and the residual effect of deficit spending to dig our way out of that colossal economic failure and $7T after tRump inherited a vibrant growing economy from Obama.

That $27T has to be paid off someday. If not by TODAY'S working families, then by tomorrow's. There's no escaping the fact that deficit spending is just another term for deferred taxes. GET IT, America??? You're living in a dreamworld if you think tRump's economy is anything but a disaster.
