Fox News Voter Analysis: Economy the top concern of most voters by far

Nearly half of U.S. voters, 47%, say the economy is the most important issue facing the country; that's nearly five times as many as any other issue.

It’s election night and we’ve been asking voters around the country, over one hundred thousand, how they voted and why. This is our first look tonight at our new method to analyze their decisions, our Fox News Voter Analysis. 

The top concern to voters tells the story of this election. 

Nearly half, 47%, say the economy is the most important issue facing the country. 

MIDTERM ELECTIONS 2022 ARE UNDERWAY AS VOTERS HEAD TO POLLS, CONTROL OF CONGRESS IS ON THE BALLOT

That’s nearly five times as many as any other issue such as abortion (10%), immigration (9%), climate (9%), crime (8%), health care (7%), gun policy (6%), foreign policy (2%), and coronavirus (2%).

The highest numbers are in Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, and Oklahoma, where about 6 in 10 say it’s the economy, stupid

And with inflation at a 40-year high, whom do voters blame?

Just over half point to President Biden’s policies (54%), while nearly half say it’s outside his control (46%).

In Ohio, Democrat Tim Ryan is distancing himself from Biden, while JD Vance was endorsed by former President Donald Trump.

MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA ELECTION OFFICIALS SAY SOLUTION FOUND TO VOTING MACHINE PROBLEMS

Yet, roughly equal numbers of Buckeye voters think Ryan supports Biden too much (48%) and Vance supports Trump too much (41%).

Finally, with midterms a referendum on the president, one-third of voters say they're falling behind financially … twice as many as felt that way two years ago.

Check back for more Voter Analysis insight throughout the night from Fox News.
