Impact of Economic Issues and Inflation on U.S. Elections
Republicans are currently favored by likely voters on economic issues and inflation, but Democrats are gaining ground. The GOP leads among white and Hispanic voters, while Democrats are favored by black voters. Men trust Republicans more on the economy, while women are split between the parties. Inflation is seen as a serious problem by most voters, with a partisan gap in perception. The Biden administration's policies are seen as contributing to inflation, despite signing an 'Inflation Reduction Act.' Both parties need to address the issue seriously to win elections.
