Inflation, Immigration, Economy Are Top Concerns of Voters, Poll Finds:

Likely voters across the country continue to be most concerned about inflation, the economy, and illegal immigration.

This fresh data comes even as experts say inflation is slowing, indicating that Americans are still feeling the pinch of high prices.

The Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll, conducted prior to the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, found that likely voters said inflation/price increases (45%), illegal immigration (36%), and the economy/jobs (28%) were the issues that matter most to them heading into the November election.

The poll was conducted in conjunction with Noble Predictive Insights July 8-11 and surveyed nearly 2,300 likely voters, including 1,006 Republicans, 1,117 Democrats, and 172 true (non-leaning) independents. It has a margin of error of 2.1 percentage points. The Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll is one of only six national tracking polls in the United States.

The percentage of voters concerned with illegal immigration was down from an earlier Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll conducted in March. At that time, 44% of likely voters said illegal immigration was a top-three issue.

Over that same period, voters have become more concerned with the economy/jobs, with that percentage rising from 24% to 28%.

The other top 10 issues in the July poll were abortion rights (26%), crime/violence (24%), climate change (18%), health care access (18%), government corruption (16%), high taxes (15%), and national debt/government spending (15%). --->READ MORE HERE

Survey: Cost of Living of Top Concern for All Senior Voters in 2024 Election:

Leading up to the 2024 presidential election, party voters are more divided than ever — or are they? According to a recent Retirement Living survey, the issues that matter most to one party are least important to another, except for one key issue.

When asked about the issues that are important as they decide whom to vote for this November, seniors are most concerned about the country’s cost of living. This is based on a survey of U.S. residents aged 60 and older who were asked to self-identify with a political party and name their top concerns regarding the upcoming election. Beyond rising expenses, American voters remain split on the issues that matter most.

Key takeaways:

• The most important issue for senior voters is cost of living. Over 19% of voters named cost of living as their biggest concern, and 57% deemed it a top three concern. 

• A whopping 94.7% of seniors have voted in previous presidential elections, and more than 91% voted in the 2020 election. 

• American seniors care most about 1) cost of living, 2) inflation, and 3) crime. 

• Seniors 60 and older say Social Security and Medicare are slightly more important than voters aged 45 to 60. 

• The top three issues of importance vary greatly by party identification. 

• Older voters are more likely to make voting decisions based on issues rather than the candidate or party affiliation.
