JULY 17, 2019: Eighteen percent (18%) of voters consider healthcare to be the most important voting issue today. A ScottRasmussen.com national survey ([link removed]) found that it is followed closely by immigration (16%), the economy (15%), and national security (9%).[1] ([link removed])
In terms of these top priorities, however, there are substantial partisan differences:
* Among Republicans, the economy and immigration are both seen as most important by 24% of voters. National security ranks third among the GOP at 14% while healthcare is rated most important by 9%.
* As for Democrats, healthcare is seen as most important by 28%, and nothing else comes close. Immigration and the economy are each rated most important by 10%. Nine percent (9%) of Democratic voters name environmental issues as number one.
* Independent voters have a more mixed assessment. Healthcare (15%), immigration (15%), and the economy (13%) are all pretty close on the priority list (see crosstab ([link removed]) results).
