Among the policy issues being debated and discussed this election year, the economy leads in importance to Americans. Nearly half of U.S. registered voters, 49%, say the economy will be extremely important to their vote for Congress. But abortion and crime are nearly as prominent; 42% and 40% of voters, respectively, say each of these is extremely important.
Gun policy and immigration constitute third-tier election issues, rated extremely important by 38% and 37% of voters, respectively.
Fewer, 31%, say relations with Russia is extremely important to their vote, while the 26% focused on climate change makes it the least influential issue tested in the Oct. 3-20 Gallup poll.
Voters rate the economy most influential to their vote this year, but abortion and crime aren’t far behind. https://t.co/JBypPUlXzs
