Economic Issues Are Bigger Priority for Midterm Voters

“Economic issues are a bigger factor in this year’s midterm elections than concerns about rights and democracy,” according to the latest Monmouth Poll.

“Democrats prioritize a fairly wide range of issues from climate change to abortion, while Republicans focus on a more limited set including inflation, crime, and immigration. Independents, though, tend to hone in on one issue above all: rising prices.”

“Further dampening Democrats’ prospects are the poor numbers President Joe Biden gets for his performance on the issues most important to independents.”
