Poll: Economy Top Issue for Under 50s



Steve Hayward of Power Line posts this Gallup chart from Bloomberg. It shows economic issues have much more salience in 2024 than in 2020, especially with the young. 

Current data appears to show that more of those under age 50 choose the economy than any other issue. That was less true in 2020. People don't like it when their dollars buy less and less.

Understanding the political implications of these findings isn't rocket science. Nearly everyone buys groceries and and most buy fuel; prices of both are up sharply.
