A majority of U.S. adults say former President Trump cares more about the needs and problems of wealthy Americans than Vice President Harris, a new survey revealed.
The recent YouGov poll shows that nearly two-thirds of U.S. adults, 63 percent, say Trump cares about the needs of the rich compared to 25 percent who said the same of Harris.
Broken down by party, 30 percent of Democrats and 21 percent of Republicans said Harris cares about the interests of wealthy Americans. For Trump, 69 percent of Democrats and 63 percent of Republicans said the same, according to the survey.
Despite the numbers, Americans largely said Harris cared more about the interests of most voting blocs listed — with the exception of white voters, those who live in rural or suburban areas, Christian Americans and male voters.
The former president outpaced the Democratic nominee with white voters by 51 percent to 29 percent. He also has a razor-thin advantage with rural voters, 29 percent to 28 percent, and suburban voters, 28 percent to 27 percent. With Christians, Trump outpaces Harris with 36 percent to 26 percent, according to the pollster.
He also leads among male voters, garnering 45 percent to the vice president’s 25 percent. Harris, however, has the advantage with women — with 48 percent saying she cares about their needs over 28 percent who said the same about Trump, the survey found.
The vice president also tops Trump with Black Americans, elderly and young voters, middle-class Americans and those who are poor, those with college degrees, urban voters, among others, the data shows.
An earlier poll from August found that more respondents, 46 percent, said that Harris cares a lot about the needs and problems of Black Americans than she does now, which sits at 40 percent, according to the latest poll.
Meanwhile, 32 percent of respondents said that Trump doesn’t care at all about the needs and problems of Black Americans, the survey found.
YouGov also revealed that 35 percent of U.S. adults think that the former president doesn’t care at all about the needs and problems of poor Americans. Meanwhile, the survey found that most Americans said that Trump cares about the interests of young Americans, at 28 percent — up from 23 percent in August.
With just a few days left in the White House race, The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s aggregate of polls shows Harris leading Trump by a slim margin — 48.3 percent to 48 percent.
The YouGov poll surveyed 1,126 U.S. adult citizens from Oct. 10-14. The margin of error for the overall sample was about 4 percentage points.
