When asked to respond in their own words, 33% of voters say the economy is the most important issue right now.
- Among 2,000 Registered Voters, politics (22%), immigration (14%), and social issues (9%) also ranked highly.
- Foreign policy (6%), healthcare (5%), and climate (2%) are far less commonly at the top of voters' minds.
- For Republicans, the top three issues identified as most important were economy (37%), immigration (22%), and politics (14%).
- For Democrats, the top three issues were politics (31%), the economy (30%), and social issues (10%).
- These results are following a trend seen in our September 24th poll, where the economy is on top, but has steadily decreased from early August highs of 40%.
There are many ways to ask about the importance of issues. Napolitan News routinely asks an open-end question that is categorized and summarized by using Jigsaw's open-source Sensemaker tool, built on top of Gemini, Google's most advanced AI, so that voters can answer the question in their own words.
- Consistently, in the open-end format, economic issues are the top issues.
