    Amid this year’s election, Vice President Kamala Harris is more trusted on policing and crime than Donald Trump, a new Redfield & Wilton Strategies poll conducted exclusively for Newsweek has found, despite the former president frequently holding a lead on this issue.

    While Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, has significantly tightened the race in the polls since President Joe Biden stepped down from the race in late July and endorsed her to be his successor, Trump, the GOP presidential nominee, has often polled well on several topics including the economy, the U.S.-Mexico border and crime.

  2. On one hand, as a former prosecutor Harris definitely knows a lot about crime. On the other hand, Trump does have a lot of extensive firsthand experience that she is definitely lacking…

    It’s a tough one.

  3. I should hope so. One is a former District Attorney and prosecutor and the other is a convicted felon.

  4. There is not ONE serious relevant issue on which Trump can be trusted more than Kamala Harris, and if 46% of the electorate wasn’t brain dead and the media wasn’t complicit, the rotten orange would never have gotten this far.

    She literally locked up crimes to the point where people call her a cop.

    Trump was tied to the Italian and Russia mob to the point where he rented places to the and has pictures with them. 

  6. code_archeologist on

    With the poll last Friday showing her leading Trump on the economy by 3 points, this is another good sign in the issues polling showing that she is reaching voters on the issues they care about.

  7. this should be a no-brainer. she’s a lawyer, a legislator, a prosecutor… he’s a felon.

  8. I would hope so, she’s was a longtime career prosecutor rising to the level of AG in the most populous state in the country. Jesus.

    Oh and he’s a career criminal.

  9. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.newsweek.com/kamala-harris-trusted-more-crime-donald-trump-poll-1964099) reduced by 88%. (I’m a bot)

    > The Redfield & Wilton Strategies poll found that 43 percent of 2,000 U.S adults who were surveyed said they trusted Harris more on policing and crime while 40 percent said they trusted Trump more.

    > A late-August poll from Reuters/Ipsos showed Harris tied with Trump on crime and corruption, both holding 40 percent, changed from a five-point lead for Trump in July.

  10. I don’t understand how there is actually a debate and the things that are being normalized. Are we still pretending that both sides are living in reality?

  11. I would have expected that people Think he has more Experience comitting crimes as evidenced by twi impeachments and 34 felonies but i keep gettinv surprises

    Why would anyone trust a criminal on crime? If someone’s overweight does that mean they can cook?
