Pew poll: It's still the economy, stupid

Pew Research polled Americans about their priorities, and according to the report, Americans have kept the economy top of mind just as they did in last year’s survey. Americans want to strengthen the economy. 75% of those polled said it should be the No. 1 priority of the Biden administration.

Coming in second place was reducing health care costs. This survey would have looked a lot different a few years ago during the pandemic, but in 2023, Americans surveyed were least concerned about COVID-19. Only 26% of those polled said it should be a top policy priority.
