AP poll: economy and democracy top issues for midterm voters
An AP voter survey released Tuesday found about 4 in 10 voters call the economy the top issue, and about 3 in 10 name the state of democracy.
About 4 in 10 U.S. voters say the economy is the most important issue facing the country, according to an AP voter survey released Tuesday. About 3 in 10 name the state of democracy as their top concern, PBS NewsHour and France 24 report.
BBC News says the survey suggests voters are most unhappy with the economy. PBS NewsHour reports that most voters are worried about gas prices and the cost of groceries.
France 24 says the share citing democracy is well above the share who named crime or immigration as most important. It also reports that roughly 6 in 10 voters deeply disapprove of President Donald Trump's presidency, based on the same survey.
NBC News reports that gas and grocery costs rose faster than the national average in the states with the top Senate races. It says voters squeezed by inflation call the economy their top issue on Election Day.
