Inflation, economy top of mind for Americans heading into midterms
The top two most important issues on American voters' minds heading into the 2022 midterm elections are inflation and the economy according to a new poll, and President Biden's marks on handling the those issues could be a bad sign for congressional Democrats.The latest ABC News/Ipsos poll released Sunday showed that inflation is the single most important issue to voters in determining how they will cast their ballots for Congress in November, with 80% of voters responding that it was either "extremely important" or "very important." Respondents said they disapproved of the president's handling of inflation, which is hovering around a 40-year-high, by a 71% to 28% margin. An even higher number, 72%, said they disapproved of how Biden has addressed record-high gas prices, while 27% said they approved.
Another 83% of voters responded that the state of the economy would be an extremely or very important factor in dictating their vote. Sixty-one percent said that they disapprove of how the president is handling the economic recovery, compared to 37% who said they approved of the job he is doing.
The polling also found that Republican voters are more motivated to show up at the polls this fall, with 57% saying they are very enthusiastic about casting their votes compared to 44% of respondents who identified as Democrats.
