Economic Squeeze Has Voters Anxious for Relief Heading into 2024 Election

Mortgage rates have risen sharply, making it difficult for some near-retirement to downsize their homes. This is affecting their retirement plans.

Younger voters are struggling with student loan debt, high housing costs, and inability to afford basics, leaving little disposable income. Some feel priced out of the American dream.

Small business owners are working long hours but getting squeezed by inflation, high shipping costs, and lower demand. They want changes to ease this financial strain.

While some blame Biden for inflation and the economy, others think broader forces like the pandemic are more responsible. There are calls for fresh Democratic leadership in 2024.

Voters report money not going as far, with high grocery, gas, car payment and construction costs. This belts-tightening makes the economy a key issue in choosing the next president.
