job market is. okay. the economy always a big deal in elections it s the economy, stupid, as they ve said. how does it rank on the priority list for voters this fall? yeah, you can be stupid and still understand the economic state with jobs being up but also gas prices and inflation being high. look, the economy is the number one issue that s the deal. if you add up inflation, gas prices and the economy as a whole it s 48%, it far outruns anything else. gun violence is second on the list at 17%, abortion 12%, 6% immigration but the economy is going to dictate voting patterns this fall unless something drastically changes and that s really good news for republicans. why is it good news for republicans? because in our last cnn poll we asked views on the economy who are you closer to among registered voters 51% said republicans, just 31% said democrats. republicans really liking this because they re claiming the incumbent party.
