A new Epoch Times poll of registered voters in the Rust Belt shows that by far the most important issues in Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin are the state of the economy and jobs.

More voters cited the “economy and jobs” as the issues most important to their vote in the November presidential election, at 33.8 percent, beating out “coronavirus” at 22.9 percent, “healthcare” at 19.2 percent, and “policing and crime” at 8.5 percent. Nearly 70 percent of likely voters who cited the economy and jobs as their top issues also identified as supporters of President Donald Trump.
