Gallup found 43% of Americans trust Democrats more than Republicans to deliver economic prosperity, versus 35% for Republicans.
The story attributes the figures to Gallup, and The Hill and the Washington Post carry the result. The Gallup topline PDF is listed but not quoted here. A cited source (Ground News) reports conflicting national figures of 51% to 37%. Check the Gallup topline before treating 43–35 as settled.

Independents drove the shift toward Democrats on the economy.
This is placed under 'Gallup found,' but 'driving the shift' is an interpretive causal framing. The independent breakdown (Democrats 50%, Republicans 32%) comes only from a secondary outlet (The World Signal). Gallup's listed page covers independent preferences but is not quoted.
