Sunday

Registered voters:
Who do you trust more to handle the country's main problems?
Trump 37%
Dems in congress 33%
neither 27%

Who do you trust more to handle the cost of living?
Trump 35%
Dems in congress 33%
neither 28%

Democrats need to put forward an economic agenda beyond just reversing Trump's policies. We need to earn the trust of the voters that we are going to make a positive difference in their lives.
