Voters Favor Candidates Focused on Economy, Reject Election Denialism and Roe v. Wade Reversal, Poll Shows
According to a recent national poll, voters are increasingly unlikely to support candidates who claim that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election or who endorse the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Instead, voters are showing a preference for candidates who address economic issues, particularly the rising cost of living.
The poll reveals that addressing high costs resonates across the political spectrum. Roughly two-thirds of voters supported candidates who backed expanding domestic oil and gas production to lower energy prices. Additionally, 61% are more likely to favor candidates who propose taxing large corporations to curb inflation, and a $6,000 federal child tax credit also garnered significant support.
In contrast, policies such as imposing high tariffs on imported goods did not receive as much backing, with less than half of respondents supporting candidates advocating for such measures.
Voters also showed resistance to election denialism. Over half of those surveyed stated they were less likely to vote for candidates claiming Trump won the 2020 election. This sentiment was especially strong among suburban women, independents, and moderates. Election denialism, however, continues to resonate with Trump’s base, particularly MAGA Republicans.
Immigration and abortion policies also play key roles in voter preferences. The poll indicates significant support for candidates who favor deploying the military to the border to combat illegal drugs and human trafficking, as well as increased deportations of undocumented immigrants. On abortion, the majority of voters lean toward supporting candidates who advocate for a federal law to restore nationwide abortion rights, while the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade remains largely unpopular.
Voters remain split on whether the abortion issue should be left to individual states, with opinions evenly divided on that stance.
Overall, the poll suggests that economic policies, abortion rights, and election integrity will be pivotal factors in shaping voter decisions in upcoming elections.
