We Asked 2,000 Americans About Their Biggest Concern. The Resounding Answer: Inflation. Geoffrey Skelley & Holly Fuong, FiveThirtyEight In the first FiveThirtyEight/Ipsos poll, 52 percent of Americans said the most important issue facing the country was inflation. We asked Americans this question in a variety of ways, but regardless of how we asked it, the top answer was always the same: inflation. Americans cite inflation as their top concern Chris Jackson, James Diamond & Johnny Sawyer, Ipsos The first of seven polls that will comprise the FiveThirtyEight/Ipsos 2022 Election Tracking Survey finds that inflation is the top concern for American adults.

Which issues do Americans think should be decided nationally rather than left to the states? Taylor Orth, Carl Bialik & Kathy Frankovic, YouGov A recent Economist/YouGov poll asked Americans whether they think a variety of issues policies should be legal nationally, left to the states, or banned nationally. Americans are more likely to say that all six policies asked about should be decided at the national level — whether banned or made legal — rather than preferring they be decided at the state level.
Pro-life and pro-choice Americans see different worlds on adoption, murder, and bodily autonomy Kathy Frankovic, Linley Sanders & Taylor Orth, YouGov How do people who are pro-life differ from people who are pro-choice?

Sometimes, a political party needs to listen to the voters Stuart Rothenberg, Roll Call Democrats’ troubles trace to wishful thinking on the appeal of the progressive agenda Republican Senate candidates promote ‘replacement’ theory Steve Peoples, Associated Press Several mainstream Republican Senate candidates are drawing on the “great replacement” conspiracy theory once confined to the far-right fringes of U.S. politics to court voters this campaign season, promoting the baseless notion that there is a plot to diminish the influence of white people in America. The Long Game of White-Power Activists Isn’t Just About Violence Kathleen Belew (Northwestern), New York Times White-power extremism reveals that the core of this ideology is not the victims it attacks, but rather the thing it attempts to preserve — and the mechanism that transfigures this ideology into racial violence.
