Hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent to persuade the American people to vote for either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump.  But ultimately two things are probably going to matter more than anything else.  Millions of Americans will be basing their votes on how they currently feel about the economy and who they trust to handle it moving forward.  This will be particularly true for independents, and they actually make up the largest block of voters at this point.  About 30 percent of the population considers themselves to be Democrats, about 30 percent of the population considers themselves to be Republicans, and almost everyone else considers themselves to be independents.  In the end, how independents vote will be of paramount importance, and a brand new survey has discovered that only 23 percent of independents believe that the U.S. economy is on the right track…

A majority of voters think the U.S. economy is on the wrong track, according to a new poll, as the Federal Reserve appears likely to lower interest rates this month after months of holding them steady.

The Harvard CAPS-Harris poll showed 63 percent of respondents said the economy is on the wrong track, while 30 percent said it's on the right track and 8 percent said they're not sure.

Opinions were split along partisan lines, with 54 percent of Democrats saying the economy is going in the right direction but only 9 percent of Republicans saying the same. The poll found 23 percent of independents said it's on the right track.

Needless to say, this is horrible news for Kamala Harris.

She desperately needs to convince independent voters in the swing states that the policies of the Biden administration have the economy moving in the right direction, and that is not an easy sell.

Economic conditions are very tough all over the country right now, and everyone can see it.
