Which Party Do Americans Believe Better Manages Their Wallets?
A new Gallup research found that Americans think one party protects the nation’s money better.
The Tuesday study found that Americans’ views of the Republican and Democratic parties had shifted since Trump’s second term. Americans don’t trust or like either party, says the study.

Select a party to “prosper” the nation. More Americans think Democratic policies are better for growth than Republican ones. This differs greatly from previous year.
This year, 44% of Americans thought Democrats were superior at wealth creation. In this year, 47% thought Democrats were better. However, 43% of Americans, down from 50% last year, think Republicans solve problems better.
Gallup claims these results demonstrate Americans’ changed political party views under Biden.
While Biden was president, Democrats lagged Republicans by six points in economic strength. When 53% of Americans selected Republicans over Democrats in 2023, this disparity widened to 14 points. Gallup says Republicans last led on this critical subject in 1991, when public opinion was beginning to tilt in their favor after the Gulf War.
Democrats handled another crucial study question. When asked which party could solve the biggest problem, 40% chose Democrats and 38% chose Republicans.
Democrats lead by two points today. Biden’s presidency left Democrats three to eleven points behind. Gallup reports that since 1952, the most popular party has won most presidential elections.
The study has some good news for Republicans.
Republicans won by 7 points to protect the U.S. from military and terrorism. Only 41% thought Democrats were intelligent, while 48% thought Republicans were.
Both parties weren’t popular, according to the study. 40% preferred Republicans to Democrats, while 37% preferred Democrats.
The poll has 1,000 participants from September 2-16. A 95% confidence level implies a 4% error rate.
