Inflation (NOT Abortion) Remains Votes' Concern

To hear the media tell it, the whole nation is in a state of near hysteria over the possible overturning of the landmark Roe abortion ruling. But that's hardly the case.

Yes, despite news reports that the Supreme Court may (and that's still iffy) be ready to overturn Roe v. Wade, abortion rights haven’t displaced inflation at the top of the list of issues most concerning to voters.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 87% of likely U.S. voters are at least somewhat concerned about inflation, including 60% who are very concerned. That’s barely changed since January. (To see survey question wording, click here.) By comparison, abortion doesn't even come close on voters' list of priorities or concerns heading into the primary and general elections.
