A survey conducted on Tuesday revealed that 43 percent of Americans consider the economy to be the country's most important issue. Healthcare was next at 13 percent.
The sentiment of Americans regarding the economy was also a factor in the presidential race between Biden and Trump, as the latter led the former by four points in a Harvard-Harris poll released on Friday. The survey revealed that most Americans are pessimistic about the country's economic situation, with 53 percent stating that it is getting worse, and four in five expecting the country to go into a recession next year.
Emerson also noted that Trump is the preferred candidate of the Republican primary voters in 2024. The survey showed that Trump leads Florida Governor Ron DeSantis by a wide margin of 55-29.
