Given a list, 28% of voters still rate the Economy as the most important political issue right now.
- Among 1,000 registered voters, Healthcare (16%), Inflation (15%), and National Security (11%) also rank highly.
- Immigration (9%), Crime (6%), Climate Change (4%), Abortion (4%), Gun Laws (4%), and Education (3%) are less commonly at the top of voters' minds.
- For Republicans, the top three issues identified as most important are the Economy (27%), National Security (17%), and Immigration (16%).
- For Democrats, the top three issues are the Economy (28%), Healthcare (26%), and Inflation (14%).
In recent months, voters have been less concerned about Immigration, and Healthcare has gained prominence, possibly because the Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies are set to expire soon.
- Just 9% of voters now say Immigration is the most important political issue, placing it fifth on the list.
A strong majority of voters (80%) said that the Economy is Very Important.
- Three quarters (74%) said that Healthcare is Very Important.
- Another 70% said that Inflation is Very Important.
There are many ways to ask about the importance of issues. Napolitan News routinely asks an open-ended question so that voters can answer the question in their own words.
- Consistently, in the open-ended format , economic issues are the top issues.
