With the 2024 presidential election approaching, most voters say they still see the economy as more important than national security or immigration-related issues.
That’s according to Rasmussen Reports.
The survey finds that 94% say they believe economic issues will be important in this year’s presidential election, including 23% who say they expect the economy to be a “very important” issue.
The economy edges out national security, seen as an important issue by 92% of voters, including 70% who say they think it will be “very important” in the presidential election.
Eighty-nine percent (89%) say they believe immigration-related issues will be important in the election, including 64% who say it will be “very important.”
The survey finds important differences in how voters view the importance of issues along party lines.
For example, far fewer Democrats (48%) than Republicans (75%) or voters not affiliated with either major party (70%) expect immigration-related issues to be “very important” in this year’s presidential election.
Similarly, fewer Democrats (59%) than Republicans (78%) or unaffiliated voters (76%) say they think economic issues will be “very important.”
Republicans (80%) are more likely than Democrats (65%) or unaffiliated voters (66%) to say they believe national security issues will be “very important” in the election.

Immigration, and wasteful programs are drivers of this pain. The economy won’t get better until policy changes.
