A new poll showed that a significant number of voters rate inflation and U.S. economic decline as their top concern going into the November midterm elections.

A Politico-Morning Consult poll, published Wednesday, showed that 71 percent of voters are “very concerned” with inflation, up 5 percentage points since August. Another 42 percent said that economic issues such as taxes and jobs were their top issue when deciding who to vote for next month.
