Economy Dominates Key Election Issues in U.S.

A recent online survey conducted by Daily Graphic reveals that 56.75% of respondents in Ghana prioritize the economy as the main factor influencing their choices in the upcoming December 7 elections. Other concerns include job creation (12.56%), illegal mining (11.48%), and education (10.27%). While voters express frustration over being limited to a single choice, they also highlighted issues like corruption and good governance as significant. In the U.S., economic concerns are similarly prominent, with voters expressing dissatisfaction over rising costs despite improvements in unemployment rates, as observed in various polls. Candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump present contrasting economic proposals, with Harris focusing on tax reforms and support for the middle class, while Trump advocates for corporate tax cuts. Overall, both nations show that the economy remains the central issue for voters ahead of critical elections.
