🗳 🇺🇸 📊 The economy and immigration dominate voting issues; the greatest concern for the economy is among older voters and White voters, contrary to the messaging of the GOP that the economy is a concern of lazy young people.

Midterm voters care mostly about inflation, immigration, and crime, all issues the GOP has typically held advantages in.

America and its institutions remain favorable, Israel near neutral opinion, socialism, communism, the DSA, China, PLA, Russia, Hamas, Iran, and Hezbollah all largely despised as adversarial countries and movements.

Harvard Harris poll shows that voters hate Trump's war with Iran but approve of mass deportations.

Trump's efforts on voter ID, anti-DEI, anti-transgenderism, prescription drug reforms, and deporting criminal illegals have the most bipartisan support.

Kamala Harris is a massive favorite for 2028, leading all racial categories but largely propped up by a massive lead with Hispanics and Blacks over Newsom.

Most voters agree that Hasan Piker and Candace Owens should be rejected, notably more so Piker's third-worldism than Candace Owens' Jewish conspiracism.
