The 2022 United States Midterm Election Day will hold on this Tuesday, November 8th. During this midterm election year, all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 seats in the Senate will be contested. Thirty-nine state and territorial gubernatorial elections, as well as numerous other state and local elections, will be contested. The results will determine the 118th United States Congress.

About half of the voters cite either the economy (28%) or inflation (22%) issue as their main concern for the midterm election, far ahead of issues like abortion rights and gun violence, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll published last week.

The results show that Democratic and Republic voters have different priorities on these issues:

For Democratic registered voters, abortion is the single most important issue (29%), essentially tied with the number who say inflation or the economy (28% together; 15% say inflation, 13% say the economy).

On the other hand, the vast majority of Republican registered voters prioritize economic issues (73% cite one of those two issues, including 45% for the economy and 28% for inflation). Half of independent registered voters (50%) also cite the economy or inflation as their single most important issue.
