 Poll shows economy top issue for voters under 30 in 2024

A recent poll shows the economy is the top issue for voters under 30 as the 2024 U.S. presidential election approaches. The poll showed that 62% of voters under 30 said the economy was the most important issue affecting their vote, compared with 47% of voters over 30.

The survey comes after the U.S. experienced high inflation in recent months. This has led to higher prices for essential goods such as gasoline, food and housing. This also leads to a decrease in the purchasing power of American workers.

Voters under 30 say they are disproportionately affected by inflation. Many of them are still early in their careers and saddled with student loan debt. Many of them also struggle to afford the cost of living.

"The economy is the most important issue for voters under 30 because they are most affected by economic fluctuations," said Daniel Goldman, managing director at political research firm Hyperbole.

"They are particularly feeling the impact of inflation as they struggle to pay rent, groceries and taxes," Goldman added.

The economy could be a key reason for divisions among candidates in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Many Democratic candidates have focused on proposals to combat inflation, such as raising taxes on big corporations and the wealthy. They also focused on recommendations for increased investment in education and health care.

Republican candidates, on the other hand, focused on proposals to cut taxes and reduce government regulations. They are also concerned about proposals to increase military spending.

It remains to be seen how the economy will impact the 2024 U.S. presidential election. However, it's clear that the economy is a big issue for voters under 30 and could have a significant impact on the outcome.
