The presidential race is still shaping up as Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton. So which of the two likely candidates do voters trust more on several of the key issues facing the nation?

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds that Trump leads when it comes to the economy, job creation and immigration. Clinton has held her lead on social issues but has widened her advantage on the environment. The two are virtually tied now when voters are asked whom they trust more to handle national security. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Voter trust breaks along predictably partisan lines. Voters not affiliated with either major party tend to lean in Trump’s direction.

Forty-eight percent (48%) of all voters now trust Trump more than Clinton to handle the economy and job creation. Thirty-nine percent (39%) trust Clinton more, while 14% are undecided. Trump held a 50% to 38% lead when Rasmussen Reports first asked this question in early September of last year.

Trump also posts a 49% to 38% lead in voter trust in the area of immigration, with 12% undecided. That compares to 52% to 38% in the previous survey.

But there’s been a tightening in trust when it comes to national security. Last September, voters trusted Trump more 46% to 42%. Now it’s Trump 44%, Clinton 43%, with 13% not sure. It’s perhaps telling that Clinton doesn’t have a sizable lead in this area given her service as secretary of State, compared to Trump’s years as a businessman outside of the highest councils of government, but at the same time, national security is an issue on which Republicans usually hold sizable leads.

Now of course Trump will not be kind to her in a debate. If she makes it that far, although doubtful she will panic and answer stupidly or just as stupidly not answer at all.
