- Gallup released its latest poll on Thursday about which issues matter most to U.S. voters in the upcoming elections.
- U.S. voters identified the economy, healthcare and the war in Iran as the issues most important to the upcoming election, according to the poll.
- Economy and healthcare were described as “extremely important” to this year’s vote by half of respondents, giving the domestic pair a quantified priority.
- Iran was included among three leading concerns, but the supplied findings give no separate respondent share for the war, unlike the figure supplied for the economy and healthcare.
Why it matters: With half of respondents saying the economy and healthcare would be extremely important to their vote, U.S. candidates face two directly measured priorities; the war in Iran is also in the leading set, though its share is not separately quantified. The poll therefore places foreign conflict in the same electoral issue mix as domestic concerns.
