(63,480 posts)2. That's what I call half of a report
They say the economic issue has fallen, but give no analysis as to why.
The OP begs the question as to what has risen in the polls to be the top issue and offset supposed economic concerns' drop.
I would be curious as to how the authoritarian threat to our democracy, willful disregard for due process or even basic human rights by the current regime fared as an issue in the polls?
Thanks for the thread IronLionZion
