A number of MAGA supporters are celebrating a new poll that shows voters believe their finances will improve if Donald Trump wins in November, despite the poll also showing the former president trailing Vice President Kamala Harris overall.
On Sunday, a CBS News/YouGov poll of 3,102 registered voters revealed that Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, is leading Trump nationally by 50 percent to 49 percent. Harris also had a 2-point lead—49 percent to 47 percent—over Trump when other presidential candidates, like independent hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr., were introduced, with Kennedy receiving 2 percent of the vote.
Further breakdown of the poll indicated that 45 percent of voters believed Trump’s policies would improve their financial situation, compared to 25 percent for Harris. Additionally, 44 percent of voters thought Harris’ policies would make them worse off financially, while 38 percent believed the same of Trump’s policies.
Since the economy is widely considered the top issue in any election, Trump supporters argue that these polling results suggest a Trump victory in November.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham shared the polling results and wrote, “This is how Trump wins. If you vote for him, you’ll have more money in your pocket. If Harris wins, you’re going to be poorer. Period!”
Chris LaCivita, an adviser for Trump’s campaign, responded, “It’s really that simple.”
John Hawkins, a conservative columnist and founder of Rightwingnews.com, commented, “Every time Americans go to the grocery store or pay their rent, they’re paying a huge ‘Kamala tax.’ So many Americans are getting crushed by it.”
Former Major League Baseball player Zack Cozart added, “It’s as cut and dry as it gets and a thousand percent correct #Trump2024.”
Trump has frequently criticized the state of the economy under the Biden administration, which has faced decades-high inflation and record-breaking gas prices at times. On Monday, Trump used a stock market drop following weak jobs data in the U.S. to criticize both Biden and Harris for their economic policies.
“Stock Markets Are Crashing, Job Numbers Are Terrible, We Are Heading to World War Lll, and We Have Two of The Most Incompetent Leaders in History. This is not good,” Trump Wrote on Truth Social.
The CBS News/YouGov poll also showed Harris and Trump tied, with each receiving 50 percent on average, across key swing states. The pair were tied in Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, while Harris led Trump in the battleground state of Nevada by 50 percent to 48 percent. Conversely, Trump led Harris in Georgia, North Carolina, and Wisconsin.
Brian Hughes, a senior Trump campaign adviser, accused the poll, which shows Harris with a slight overall lead, of being “fake.” Newsweek has emailed CBS News and YouGov for comment. Hughes shared a memo stating that the poll sampled more liberals and fewer conservatives than a previous YouGov survey and that Trump would be leading 51 percent to 49 percent if the sample were adjusted properly.
“The Fake News Media continue to help dangerously liberal Kamala hide her record of economic failure and soft-on-crime policies. Now, as this analysis shows, they’ll even put a finger on the scale of polling to inflate results for her,” Hughes said.

He continued, “This analysis is why the American people are seeing through it and will not allow this national gaslighting campaign to win. Despite this manipulated result from CBS/YouGov, it’s worth noting that in July and August of 2020, their data showed Biden leading by 10 nationally, reflecting a net positive movement of almost +10 to President Trump this election cycle.”
