America’s debt burden is north of $35 trillion, and both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump propose adding trillions of dollars more to it.
And that’s not what voters in seven swing states want, according to a poll of 2,828 registered voters conducted for the nonprofit and nonpartisan Peter G. Peterson Foundation.
The survey, which Democratic firm Global Strategy Group and Republican firm North Star Opinion Research ran late in September, reveals deep concern about debt repercussions across party lines in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
All told, 96% of voters, including 97% of Trump supporters, 95% of Harris backers and 95% of the few undecideds left, are worried about a national debt that averages out to more than $105,000 per American citizen, with interest alone boosting that burden by roughly $7,000 year over year.
