With the midterm elections just two months away, the state of the economy continues to dominate other concerns for most American voters. The latest Fox News poll shows that out of eleven concerns, the greatest one is the nation’s economy, with nearly all voters either extremely (46 percent) or very (47 percent) concerned. Unemployment is a nearly equal concern (43 percent extremely and 49 percent very).
In addition, more than 9 in 10 voters are concerned about “the future of the country” (43 percent extremely and 48 percent very concerned).
Fewer voters — though still sizable numbers — are as worried about their own personal economic situation. The poll finds that 37 percent of voters are extremely (19 percent) or very worried (18 percent) about losing their job. However, two-thirds are concerned about being able to pay their bills (32 extremely and 34 percent very).
