A new poll of Pennsylvania registered voters found inflation and rising costs are top concerns and elections for federal and state executive offices are up for grabs as Election Day inches closer.
The poll, released by the Commonwealth Foundation, found nearly seven-in-ten registered voters say inflation and price increases impact their family’s ability to maintain their standard of living. About a third (34 percent) responded “a great deal” and a similar number (35 percent) responded “a fair amount”.
More than half of all registered voters surveyed say their economic conditions are worsening.
Of the 800 commonwealth registered voters surveyed between Sept. 26–29, 57 percent believe the state has “gotten off on the wrong track.” Nearly six-in-ten (59 percent) say the Pennsylvania economy is “not good.”
