March 29 ( UPI )– Inflation and immigration are among the top issues at the front of American’s minds going into the 2024 presidential election, according to Gallup.
Gallup’s annual economic surveys conducted earlier this month found 55 % of Americans worry” a great deal” about prices, making it the top concern among 14 issues presented in the study.
No. 1 was outlawed immigration. 7 on the list, with 48 % of Americans saying they worry” a great deal”.
When asked unprompted what their top concern was, however, 28 % of respondents said immigration, and 11 % said inflation.
Less than 40 % of Americans said they were concerned about environmental concerns, race relations, and poverty, but none of them were.
Issues like as hunger, poverty and violence, despite being among the highest rated concerns when presented immediately, were least mentioned as leading- of- thoughts concerns.
U. S. consumer inflation rose slightly in February, with personal consumption expenditures up by 0.3 % from the previous month and 2.5 % over last year.
Food prices rose 0.1 % in February, with energy prices up 2.3 %.
Concerns over prices decreased by six positions over the past year, despite also being a top priority this year. People worry over illegal immigration, however, grew by seven percent items over last year.
In spite of the fact that congressional Republicans just sunk a bipartisan immigration program to aid former president Donald Trump, a study from the New York Times and Siena College found that 66 % of Democrats believed the position at the southern border to be of significant worry. However, this may have a negative impact on President Joe Biden during the general election.
