Affordability Remains the Top Issue for Voters

Politico: “With the midterms rapidly approaching, new results from the Politico Poll show the economy and the cost of living remain top of mind for voters among Trump’s 2024 coalition — with many saying it’s worse than it’s ever been and that the government could be doing more to help.”

“The affordability issue remains a key vulnerability for Trump — even within his own coalition. But there’s also been only modest, if any, change in Trump voters’ concerns about the president’s handling of the cost of living.”

“The takeaway: The percentage of voters who count affordability as a major issue is roughly the same since November. That means the problem has persisted even while the U.S. military engages in a war in the Middle East — one that could further exacerbate the impact of high costs and vulnerability for Trump and Republicans among their supporters.”
