Joe Biden and Donald Trump look forward
Polls show that no other issue comes close to the economy as voters weigh President Joe Biden's reelection or sending former President Donald Trump back to the White House.
  • Polls show that the economy is the most important issue in the election.
  • President Joe Biden has a good record, but Americans are still angry over high prices.
  • Former President Donald Trump is hoping that inflation-related angst will push him back into office.

No issue looms larger for the 2024 election than the economy.

A May ABC News-Ipsos poll found that nearly 9 in 10 Americans said that either the economy generally or "inflation, meaning raising prices" was the most important issue in determining their vote for this November.
