Economic concerns dominate election debate

The economy remains a central issue on voters' minds. Nearly 30% of Americans point to the economy, the unemployment rate and employment as the biggest challenges facing the country. With inflation affecting prices of goods and services, affordability and cost of living have become top concerns for most voters.

The cost of living has emerged as a predominant concern for voters. While other aspects of the economy, such as the labor market, remain strong, the rising cost of goods and services has brought economic concerns to the center of the 2024 election.
