Economic Concerns Propel Trump Ahead of 2024 Election

In the 2024 U.S. presidential election, economic concerns were pivotal, with a majority of voters perceiving the economy as "not good/poor." This sentiment favored Donald Trump over Kamala Harris, as Trump effectively communicated his economic plans to voters, particularly among Hispanic communities. Despite improvements in inflation rates, high living costs and economic dissatisfaction led to a shift in voter support, with many prioritizing economic issues over other concerns. Exit polls indicated a significant partisan divide, with Republicans more likely to view the economy negatively.
