As former President Joe Biden and past president Donald Trump prepared for a fight of 2020 in November, likely voters are focused on prices and price rises, illegal immigration, and the business.  ,
The Center Square Voters ‘ Voice Poll, conducted in conjunction with Noble Predictive Insights, found that given a range of options to identify their top concerns, likely voters said inflation/price increases ( 45 % ),  , illegal immigration ( 44 % ) and the economy/jobs ( 24 % ) were the issues that matter most to them.  , Rounding out the top 10 issues were abortion rights ( 22 % ), crime/violence ( 22 % ), government corruption ( 20 % ), climate change ( 19 % ), health care access ( 18 % ), national debt/government spending ( 16 % ) and national security ( 16 % ).
However, the most prevalent actions were by far prices and illegal immigration.  ,
According to David Byler of Noble Predictive Insights, inflation is a high-ranking issue for Democrats, Republicans, and genuine politicians. ” Every political party thinks this things”.
Inflation peaked at 9.1 % in June 2022 and over the past 12 months, the all items index increased 3.2 % before seasonal adjustment. The inflation rate remains above the Fed’s 2 % target. Costs in America have been squeezed by rate increases and inflation. And while the wealthy may have a greater buffer against inflation, that does n’t imply that they like it.  ,
According to Byler,” the thing that makes prices so socially harmful is that it hits everyone.”  ,
Borders says like Arizona and Texas have sent busloads of immigrants to locations all over the country, increasing the scope of the issue. Texas has paid to vehicle more than 102, 000 workers to places including New York, Chicago and Denver, among others.  ,
The problem of improper immigration has risen from the bottom to the center. The summer 2023 Voters ‘ Voice Poll found , inflation , topped the list with 44 % of voters identifying it as the top concern, followed by crime/violence ( 27 % ) and illegal immigration ( 25 % ). Polling indicates that voters ‘ concerns about those concerns have grown since then, with concerns about illegal immigration gaining over crime and violence.
When it’s an election like this, where both individuals are very well-known and have the experience of being led by both men, the matter structure really matters, Byler said. The focus has changed from those that Biden did in 2020 to those on which Trump has a strong track record, such as immigration and the business.
According to Michael Bitzer, head of the elections office at Catawba College in North Carolina, financial problems have a way to ascend to the top of the list.
Simply put, because citizens tend to prioritize financial problems when they are popular in the social atmosphere, he told The Center Square. ” Points like the poverty level, when it is great, takes center stage in voters ‘ minds and choice- making, along with bag issues like prices. Since there have been many election cycles when inflation has been a major concern for voters, it has really been one since that time. This is because of the historically low trendline of inflation being so small, its latest increase upwards, and then a return to what we have frequently seen since over the past decade.
A , survey , on American fears, done each year by Chapman University, found that corrupt government officials (60.1 % were very afraid or afraid ) were America’s biggest fear in 2023. That was followed by economic/financial collapse ( 54.7 % ).
The poll of 2, 510 voters included 1, 044 Republicans, 1, 126 Democrats and 340 true independents. It was conducted March 11- 15 and has a margin of error of + /- 2 %.
