Monday’s poll also found that young voters want to see improvements made regarding the economy and daily expenses.
Eighty percent of respondents said lowering health care prices and expanding coverage are important goals for America to achieve.
Meanwhile, 78 percent said “continuing to strengthen our economy by reducing inflation, creating more good-paying jobs, and ensuring a fair and inclusive economy” is an important goal.
Sixty-nine percent said “increasing access to affordable child care and guaranteeing paid family leave for parents of newborns” is important.
“We need to acknowledge that pocketbook issues are still tough for a majority of voters, especially for young people and people of color,” said Nic Jordan, executive director of ASPIRE PAC. “These voters are telling us that candidates need to have a comprehensive plan for the future. That’s why our leaders must show that they understand the day-to-day struggles our communities face.”
