The economy is humming. I travelled across America and saw highways packed with cars and trucks like never before, saw towns full of restaurants packed full where you can only get a seat with a reservation, and rode through hundreds of miles on interstate and US highways being repaired, expanded, bridges and new overpasses, it is an orgy of activity. After almost 7000 miles, I have seen, and I KNOW!

Btw, I left Florida with heavy cloud cover and incessant rain up north, then saw not a drop of rain for the following weeks, just sunshine and beautiful weather, only to return to clouds and rain in …..central Florida and south. Otoh, the rains hit the west yesterday, and especially New Mexico where they had terrible flush flooding.

I had been to Destin FL years ago, a sleepy place with a beautiful beach. This time I saw an amazing modern town where every stretch of ground has been built up and reminds one of Palm Beach not the panhandle. Beautiful but too much traffic and all that goes with every nice part of the world taken over with overdevelop ent and crowds.

Most voters think the economy is poor, but split on whether Trump or Harris can fix it: AP-NORC poll

WASHINGTON (AP) — Voters remain largely divided over whether they prefer Republican Donald Trump or Democrat Kamala Harris to handle key economic issues, although Harris earns slightly better marks on elements such as taxes for the middle class, according to a new poll.

A majority of registered voters in the survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research describe the economy as poor. About 7 in 10 say the nation is going in the wrong direction.

But the findings reaffirm that Trump has lost what had been an advantage on the economy, which many voters say is the most important issue this election season above abortion, immigration, crime and foreign affairs.

“Do I trust Trump on the economy? No. I trust that he’ll give tax cuts to his buddies like Elon Musk,” said poll respondent Janice Tosto, a 59-year-old Philadelphia woman and self-described independent.

An AP-NORC poll conducted in September found neither Harris nor Trump had a clear advantage on handling “the economy and jobs.” But this poll asked more specific questions about whether voters trusted Trump or Harris to do a better job handling the cost of housing, jobs and unemployment, taxes on the middle class, the cost of groceries and gas, and tariffs.

The poll found that 46% of voters prefer Harris on middle-class taxes, compared to 35% for Trump. Harris also has a slight advantage on the cost of housing. Voters are about evenly divided on whether Trump or Harris is better on prices for everyday essentials like groceries and gas, and neither candidate has an edge on jobs and unemployment.
