Numbers, Facts and Trends Shaping Your World
Voters who support Biden and Trump have starkly different opinions on many issues, and these two groups are divided internally as well.
As Election Day approaches, here’s a look at voters’ issue priorities, based mainly on a Pew Research Center survey conducted Oct. 10-16.
The economy is clearly the top issue for voters; fully 79% say it will be very important to their voting decisions – the highest share among 18 issues included on the survey. The public continues to take a dim view of current economic conditions. Just 17% of U.S. adults say the economy is in excellent or good shape, little changed from the 13% who said this in July.
The share of Americans viewing illegal immigration as a ‘very big’ problem has increased.
More than one-third of Black eligible voters in the U.S. live in nine of the nation’s most competitive states.
Georgia’s changing electoral makeup has been the focus of renewed attention in the 2020 election cycle.
About eight-in-ten Latino registered voters and U.S. voters overall rate the economy as very important to their vote.
The share of Gen Z voters who are Hispanic is significantly higher than the share among other groups of voters.
The number of Hispanic registered voters in Florida grew by 364,000 between 2012 and 2016 and by 305,000 between 2008 and 2012.
