This momentum shift, long overdue, is as it should be. The Trump-Vance ticket is strongly preferred by voters on the top issues that now regularly pop out in the polls: the economy and the related issue of inflation, immigration and border security, crime and public safety, foreign policy and the chaos in Gaza and carnage Ukraine.
