    Kamala Harris Improves With Voters on Inflation, Economy and Immigration. Plus, the VP Debate Recap Oct 03, 2024
    Show notes

    Markos joins for this week's Thursday Kos, and breaks down the latest Cook Political Report which says Harris is leading in every battleground state, except GA.

    She's erased Trump's six point lead and the two are tied for the most trustworthy to handle inflation.

    The 37% of voters who thought the economy was getting better or was staying the same in May, has grown to 46%.

    As the gap between those who think inflation is getting better or staying the same and those who think it’s getting worse has shrunk to eight points — a 17-point decrease in economic pessimism over the last four months, Harris leads Trump among the 46% of voters who who think inflation is getting better or staying the same.

    And Trump's lead over Harris on immigration and the border shrunk five points since August to 51% - 42%.
