Poll: It's the Economy and Immigration, Stupid -- Not Abortion

Ed Morrissey

Ironically, the damage to Biden on immigration mainly comes from Hispanic voters, to whom Biden intended to pander with his open-border policies. Meanwhile, Biden keeps focusing on abortion when only half of the electorate in battleground states consider it a "major factor" in the election -- and closer to four out of five are focused on inflation and the economy. They're clearly not getting suckered by Biden's gaslighting on either issue, either.

One interesting point to note in Arizona is the way Trump is outperforming Kari Lake. He's up five while she's trailing by thirteen. Arizona is still a purple state, in other words, but bad candidates are going to fail there regardless of which way the wind blows in a particular cycle.
