USA Today: New election poll shows low-income voters flocking to Kamala Harris over Donald Trump [View all]

"Low income voters − those making less than $20,000 a year − now support Harris over former President Donald Trump, 58%-35%, the biggest jump among all groups, according to the poll. It is a reversal from June, when Trump, at 39%, was three points ahead of Biden, at 36% with voters of this economic group....
Kamala Harris surges with younger voters. The poll's overall findings reflect an eight-point turnaround in the race from late June, when Trump led Biden. Throughout the year, Biden trailed Trump by anywhere from half a percentage point to almost four points.

Harris’ slight lead is fueled by demographic groups including Black and Hispanic voters. Aside from low-income voters, Harris is also popular among moderate-income voters, those who make less than $50,000. With this group, Harris leads Trump by three points, 47%-44%, according the poll.
People who make less than $20,000 a year tend to be very young voters − those who are just starting out in the workplace or finishing their education − or older voters who are on a fixed income, said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center.
Harris' favorability rating with this group leaped 16 points, from 37% in June to 53%, in August."
