Harris voters focus on healthcare, Trump’s on the economy

A survey by the PEW Research Centre, a non-partisan organisation, based in Washington DC, has found that Harris and Trump supporters are deeply divided on what they consider to be the main issues of the US presidential election.  

Harris supporters consider healthcare (76%), Supreme Court appointments (73%), abortion (67%) and climate change (62%) to be the most important considerations, as opposed to Trump supporters who are prioritising the economy (93%), immigration (82%), violent crime (76%) and foreign policy (70%).  

Harris and Trump supporters somewhat agree on the importance of gun policy (59% and 53% respectively).  

However, they also diverge markedly on racial and ethnic inequality (56% and 18% respectively).
