I would expect that any random person on the street would be more trusted on the economy than Trump
If economic expertise actually consisted of lying, filing false financial statements, running businesses into the ground, dodging creditors and filing bankruptcy, then Trump would be unmatched. But those decidedly are not signs of economic expertise - exactly the opposite in fact.
I would expect the same, and yet the polling shows that Trump was consistently leading Biden on the economy. The random person on the street probably sees the guy is rich and ostentatious with his money, and assumes that means he knows something about the economy.
The fact Kamala is leading on this seems like a big deal given the state of the US economy was perceived as the Democrats’ most vulnerable issue going into this election.
