The Daily Signal - INTERVIEW | Noah Weinrich on Biggest Issues Driving Voters to Polls

Concerns over inflation and the economy are driving voters to the polls. 


After three rounds of polling, Heritage Action for America Communications Director Noah Weinrich says the economy and inflation are the top issues for between 30% and 50% of voters.


“And even for the other voters who have another issue as their top concern, the economy is in their top three,” Weinrich says. 


Abortion, border security, and crime are three other leading concerns for voters, he said. 


Weinrich joins “The Daily Signal” podcast to discuss the issues dominating the midterm elections and the biggest races to watch on Election Day.
