Elyse Apel | The Center Square
According to a newly released poll from The Center Square, 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 weekend 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 from 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%. The Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll is one of only six national tracking polls in the United States.
Overall, the poll shows that even though inflation is down from a 9.1% high two years ago, consumers continue to be concerned with the historically high prices they face.
This comes as unemployment is also on the rise, likely contributing to the increase in concern about the economy/jobs.
