Far more Americans trust Donald Trump to handle the US economy than Joe Biden despite
months of strong growth, a new poll has found, underscoring the president’s difficulty in
convincing voters his policies are improving their financial wellbeing.

The survey for the Financial Times and the University of Michigan Ross School of Business
found that 42 per cent of Americans felt Trump would be the best steward of the US
economy, while only 31 per cent chose Biden. Around one in five — 21 per cent — said they
trusted neither.
