Most Americans in new survey list inflation, homelessness as very serious problems
BY FILIP TIMOTIJA 08/31/24 10:55 AM ET
Most Americans listed inflation and homelessness as very serious problems, as concerns around rising antisemitism and illegal immigration have increased in the last year, per a new survey.
The YouGov poll, released Thursday, found that for a third year in a row, inflation has topped the list as a very serious problem on voters minds with 67 percent saying the issue is a major concern going into the 2024 election. A similar survey from last year showed 68 percent of Americans thought inflation was a serious issue, while only 64 percent said the same in 2022.
Homelessness and debt were second on the list, among 32 topics polled, each bringing in 59 percent. In 2023, homelessness was seen as a serious problem for 60 percent of Americans while debt stood at 52 percent, the survey found.
Pollsters also noted that concerns around rising antisemitism and illegal immigration have risen in the past 12 months. Roughly 31 percent of respondents said antisemitism is a very serious problem, an 8 percent increase from both last year and 2022.
Illegal immigration, one of the top issues in this presidential election cycle, is now a serious concern for over half of respondents or 53 percent. In 2023, the issue polled at 49 percent while it was at 43 percent in 2022.
One issue voters were less concerned about in the latest poll was violent crime. The survey found that 53 percent thought crime was a serious problem in 2024 a near double-digit decline from last years 62 percent.
Voters in the two major parties have different views on what the most pressing issues in the country are. For Democrats, gun violence was at the top with 81 percent, followed by climate change (75 percent), poverty (70 percent), homelessness (70 percent) and a lack of access to health care (66 percent), per the survey.
The poll found that for Republicans inflation was the main issue at 89 percent. Illegal immigration came in second with 86 percent followed by debt (66 percent) and drug abuse (66 percent).
The YouGov survey was conducted between Aug 7-10 among 1,138 adults. The margin of error was approximately 4 percentage points.

Maybe if they hadn't run a guy that told constant lies, was convicted of crimes, had over a million people die under his administration while suggesting they take dewormer and inject bleach, was already a loser when rerunning last time, cheats on his wife, cheats on his taxes and actually attacked his own government capitol to cheat an election and take power by force, their party would be doing better.
Naw, that wouldn't have anything to do with his issues with his campaign.

Republican response?
Cut taxes for the rich!
....,........
All recent Republican budget plans create significant tax breaks for the ultrawealthy with offsets that harm everyone else. Extending the 2017 Republican tax cuts is expected to cost trillions of dollars over the next decade, adding $4.6 trillion to the deficit. In particular, provisions that overwhelmingly benefit the wealthy like the deduction for gpass-through businessesh and the higher estate and gift tax exemptions would respectively add $684 billion and $167 billion to the deficit over 10 years. And these cuts are on top of the over $1.3 trillion tax cut that Republicans gave to corporations over 10 years starting in 2017. To gpay forh these tax giveaways, Republicans continue to call for strict, across-the-board cuts that harm American families and seniors. At least one Republican plan would completely eliminate all funding for public goods like nutrition programs for kids, hospital care for veterans, public safety, and many other vital government functions.
Recent Republican budget plans would force drastic cuts to federal spending, hurting Americans across the country.

If Americans truly care about those still struggling (even though many are already doing better)..then they should seriously stay away from the GOP economic plan. It'll be disastrous for those people, set those doing okay right now back, and disastrous for our country and economy.
But hey, Elon and Bezos thinks it'll be great.

Homelessness was no less an important issue a month ago, has the GOP response changed?
Have the budget plans changed in the last few weeks? These things take months to put together for a platform and it takes something huge to change what a committee put together with consensus.
You call me a troll for that? Wow. That's nothing but hollow arrogance.

Homelessness has been an issue for years..and it got worse under Trump, not better. His idea is to round them all up and put them in camps. Out of sight, out of mind, I guess.
No thanks..lets try some other things first.
He calls everyone a Troll, Mitra lol Welcome to the club. It's a big one.

Ah. Okay. You don't care about the issues or response, only that you can post something negative with impunity.
The GOP budget plan is a response to what they consider top issues.

thats disingenuous. what was posted was an article about the top issues with voters and you are trying to change the topic. that happens a lot here even though bopps own rules say stay on topic. did you even read what the important issues are to voters? you said the other day the election was all about democracy or dictator yet that doesnt seem to be a deciding factor on the minds of voters. thoughts?
