The Economist/YouGov survey, conducted from April 21 to April 23, asked 1,561 American adults what issues affecting the United States are most important to them seven months away from the presidential election. Among all national issues, 24 percent of the respondents cited inflation as their primary concern, followed behind by immigration at 14 percent.
Notably, 97 percent of respondents considered inflation an “important” issue, while 77 percent said it was “very important.” Similarly, 85 percent regarded immigration as “important,” while 56 percent labeled it “very important.”
Only 29 percent of the respondents approved of Biden and his approach to inflation. Meanwhile, 62 percent disapprove of his performance, including 49 percent who “strongly” disapprove. The disapproval margin widened further among independents, with only 17 percent approving of his inflation management compared to 72 percent disapproval.
On the issue of immigration, Biden has 29 percent approval rating and 67 percent disapproval rating. Once again, independents echoed this sentiment, with only 17 percent approving of his performance and 69 percent disapproving.
