A Quinnipiac University poll released today shows that American voters are more concerned with health care and race relations than the economy.
Pollster Tim Malloy says 22 percent of voters said that healthcare is the most important problem facing the nation today. 19 percent said race relations, and 15 percent said the economy.
“Health care is a family issue, health care is a survival issue. So it’s not surprising that healthcare remains the number one issue among Americans especially when you consider what sort of ugly battle it has been between Obamacare and the Republican alternative. So yes it’s bigger than the economy in the minds of most Americans because in the heart it goes right home. It’s your kids, it’s your health, and it’s your existence.”
The poll also found President Donald Trump has an approval rating of 30 percent when it comes to healthcare and 45 percent when it comes to handling the economy.
50 percent of voters said they were very dissatisfied with the way things are going in Washington. That’s the lowest it’s been in four years.
The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent.
