Americans who made their way to election polls on Tuesday had several key issues on their mind when deciding who they would cast their ballot for. According to a new survey, the economy and reproductive rights were among the top concerns.
The survey from NBC News found that 32% of American voters said inflation was the number one issue they considered when deciding how they voted.
In a close second was abortion, at 27%; crime and gun policy, each at 12%; and immigration, at 10%. But when it came to deciding on an issue, political allegiances mattered.
The poll found that 46% of Democrats cared more about abortion rights, while 44% of Republican voters found current inflation rates more concerning. Independent voters split the difference, choosing both as important issues playing a factor in how they voted.
Voters polled were also asked their thoughts on President Joe Biden’s performance during his first two years in office.
The poll found that most thought his policies were doing more harm than good for the country and were dissatisfied or angry with what was happening in the country.
The poll was conducted across the country as voters left their poll places.
