Biden beat Trump in suburban counties by about six percentage points in the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>Before Biden dropped out, Trump was leading him 43% to 40% among suburbanites in Reuters\/Ipsos polls conducted in June and July, reflecting the Democrat&#8217;s struggle to energize supporters.<\/p>\n<p>Harris began closing the gap when she launched her campaign in July and led Trump 47% to 41% among suburban voters in polling across September and October. That represents a nine-point swing in the Democrat&#8217;s favor, according to the analysis of six Reuters\/Ipsos polls that included responses from over 6,000 registered voters.<\/p>\n<p>During the same periods, Trump went from leading Biden 44% to 37% among voters in households that earn between $50,000 and $100,000 &#8211; roughly the middle third of the nation &#8211; to trail Harris 43% to 45%, also a nine-point swing away from Trump. The figures had margins of error of around 3 percentage points.<\/p>\n<p>Trump carried this group 52%-47% in 2020, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of exit polls.<\/p>\n<p>Reuters\/Ipsos surveys have shown voters consider the economy the No. 1 issue ahead of the election and in a poll conducted in October, 46% of voters said Trump was the better candidate for the economy, 8 points more than Harris&#8217; 38%.<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"paragraph-8\" class=\"text__text__1FZLe text__dark-grey__3Ml43 text__regular__2N1Xr text__small__1kGq2 body__full_width__ekUdw body__small_body__2vQyf article-body__paragraph__2-BtD\">The polls have also shown Trump as the more trusted candidate on immigration and crime.

Harris, meanwhile, has put considerable focus in her speeches on pledges to increase the size of the middle class. She also is more often picked in polls as the better candidate for protecting democracy and taking a stand against political extremism.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Her focus on affordability has been highly effective in narrowing Trump&#8217;s advantage on inflation and the economy,&#8221; said David Wasserman, a political analyst at the Cook Political Report.<\/p>\n<p>Wasserman said Harris appeared to be performing well among relatively affluent suburbanites who could be growing more optimistic about the economy, while her gains among middle-income voters could be due to her campaign&#8217;s regular pledges to help middle-class households.<\/p>\n<p>But he noted that voter turnout in Democratic-leaning urban areas and Republican-leaning rural towns could also be critical in deciding the election.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body__element__2p5pI\" data-testid=\"gallery-0\">\n<div class=\"\" data-testid=\"PrimaryGalleryWrapper\" lang=\"en\">\n<div class=\"primary-gallery__detail__yLb14 article-body__figcaption__17dH0\">\n<p>Item 1 of 2 U.S. Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris attends a town hall presented by Spanish-language network Univision at University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S., October 10, 2024.

Democrat Hillary Clinton, who got nearly 3 million votes more than Trump nationwide in the 2016 election and beat him in suburban counties by about 1 percentage point, still lost the election when Trump flipped six states that had voted Democratic in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Poll respondent Sheila Lester, an 83-year-old Harris supporter living in Peoria, Arizona, which mostly lies in the state&#8217;s battleground Maricopa County, said in a phone interview that she had become convinced Trump would beat Biden.<\/p>\n<p>She said she rejoiced when the Democratic Party quickly coalesced around the candidacy of Harris, especially since she could be the first woman U.S. president.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The response that she has gotten has made me a little bit more proud of this country,&#8221; said Lester, a retired customer service employee who considers herself part of the middle class. She said she liked Harris&#8217; toughness on abortion rights and her pledge to grow the middle class. &#8220;I am definitely anti-Trump, but I believe I&#8217;m more pro-Harris.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Maricopa County played an important role in Biden&#8217;s 2020 victory, when the county narrowly flipped Democratic after voting for Trump in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Karen Davidson, 83, who lives in West Bloomfield, Michigan, a middle-class suburb of Detroit, said she had not been that familiar with Harris before she moved to the top of the ticket.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I needed to know more about her to form any kind of thought,&#8221; Davidson said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The way she stood up to people who were berating her, I had to respect that having been in the industrial machinery business when women didn&#8217;t work in it, I know what that&#8217;s like,&#8221; Davidson continued. &#8220;She had the strength, and that&#8217;s what&#8217;s needed to run our country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In Pooler, Georgia, a suburb of Savannah, grocery store employee Kevin Garcia said he also was relieved Biden had bowed out and preferred Harris&#8217; pledges to support small businesses over Trump&#8217;s promise to tax imported goods.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just feel better about the chances,&#8221; said Garcia, 24, who lives in a single-family home neighborhood in the state that, like Arizona, narrowly flipped Democratic in 2020.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"promo-box\" class=\"text__text__1FZLe text__dark-grey__3Ml43 text__regular__2N1Xr text__small__1kGq2 body__base__22dCE body__small_body__2vQyf article-body__promo-box__3bCm_\"> Sign up <!-- --> <a data-testid=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/harris-overtakes-trump-among-suburban-voters-reutersipsos-polling-shows-2024-10-10\/undefined?location=article-paragraph\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" class=\"text__text__1FZLe text__inherit-color__3208F text__inherit-font__1Y8w3 text__inherit-size__1DZJi link__link__3Ji6W link__underline_default__2prE_\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body__element__2p5pI\">\n<p data-testid=\"Body\" class=\"text__text__1FZLe text__dark-grey__3Ml43 text__regular__2N1Xr text__extra_small__1Mw6v body__full_width__ekUdw body__extra_small_body__3QTYe sign-off__text__PU3Aj sign-off__no-margin-top__2e9N-\">Reporting by Jason Lange and Bo Erickson in Washington;
