JULY 23, 2020: Twenty-seven percent (27%) of voters name the economy as the top voting issue ([link removed]) in the upcoming presidential election ([link removed]) . A _JustTheNews.com_ survey conducted by Scott Rasmussen found that an identical number—27%—say health care is the top issue.[1] ([link removed])
Those numbers reflect a growing concern about healthcare over the past month. In June, a Ballotpedia survey ([link removed]) found that 30% named the economy as most important while just 17% said healthcare. That's a 10 point gain in the importance of healthcare.
For independent voters, healthcare is now the top issue. A month ago, they were more concerned about the economy.[1] ([link removed])
Currently, 12% say law and order is the top issue, little changed from a month ago.[1] ([link removed])
Eleven percent (11%) now see civil rights as the top issue, down five points from last month.[1] ([link removed])
Overall, in naming the top issue, voters are evenly divided between issues that generally favor Democrats (health care, civil rights, income inequality, and the environment) and those that generally favor Republicans (economy, law and order, immigration, and freedom of speech). However, while the Republicans started the year with a clear advantage on the economy, that has faded amidst the pandemic lockdowns.
