Voters ID inflation, immigration as top concerns ahead of presidential election

 Likely voters are focused on inflation and price increases, illegal immigration and the economy as incumbent President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump prepared for a rematch of 2020 in November.

The Center Square Voters' Voice Poll - Logo - White Background The Center Square Voters' Voice Poll, conducted in conjunction with Noble Predictive Insights, found that given a range of options to identify their top concerns, likely voters said inflation/price increases, illegal immigration and the economy/jobs were the issues that matter most to them.

TCS - Noble spring 2024 top issues But inflation and illegal immigration were by far the most common responses.

"Inflation is a high-ranking issue among Democrats and Republicans and True Independents," David Byler of Noble Predictive Insights told The Center Square.

The summer 2023 Voters' Voice Poll found inflation topped the list with 44% of voters identifying it as the top concern, followed by crime/violence and illegal immigration.

Polling shows voters' concerns about those issues have grown since then, with worries about illegal immigration overtaking crime/violence.

"Things like the unemployment rate, when it is high, takes center stage in voters' minds and decision-making, along with pocketbook issues like prices. It has really been several election cycles since we have seen inflation be a top concern of voters, because of the historic trendline of inflation being so low, and its recent spike upwards, and now a return to what we have generally since over the past decade." A survey on American fears, done each year by Chapman University, found that corrupt government officials were America's biggest fear in 2023.
