Donald Trump seems to be struggling to land his simple message on the economy.

Polls consistently suggest it’s the issue American voters care about the most.

But Kamala Harris is riding a wave of excitement and enthusiasm that he is finding difficult to counter.

The easiest way to burst her bubble would be to remind voters how unhappy they are about high prices.

Trump is still favoured on the economy, but where he once had an 18 -point lead over Biden he now leads Ms Harris by only about 8 points.

A separate poll this week indicated Ms Harris holds a narrow lead over Trump on who Americans trust to handle the economy.

Republicans are publicly begging Trump to focus on the issues, the economy in particular.
