A new exclusive poll of Alabama voters show the inflation and economy are the top issue motivating their decision-making a week away from Election Day.
Poll conducted by Cygnal of 616 likely primary voters shows a combination of inflation and the economy tops the minds of 44% of the Alabama electorate, while women’s’ right to choose abortion is 2nd with 15%.“You have nearly a majority of voters, 44%, who are saying their top priority is the economy and that’s including independents,” says Cygnal pollster and strategist John Rogers.“
A plurality of independents chose inflation and the economy more than any other issue as well. There’s been so much media coverage in the aftermath of the Dobbs decision about how abortion rights would be in the forefront of this midterm election cycle, and that’s just not been in the case and certainly not in Alabama. With gas prices as high as they are and inflation as high as it’s been since 1982, that’s what voters are concerned about.
While Alabama voters are worried about the economy, a majority 56% believe the state is on the right track. “Alabama’s a Republican state, it’s a conservative state, Republicans control the state legislature, obviously you have Gov. Ivey who’s Republican, so you have a majority of support of people thinking the state’s heading in the right direction,”“I think if we’d asked the question about the direction of the country, the numbers would’ve been flipped and there’s a lot more pessimism about the direction of the country than there is about the direction of the state right now.
Republican incumbents including Governor Ivey and Attorney General Steve Marshall enjoy comfortable leads, and Republican Katie Britt picks up close to 60%t of the support from the more than 600 voters of both parties we surveyed.
