Readership data from leading local news publications in all seven battleground states tells a different story: while political news draws interest, economic issues are grabbing voters’ attention most
The economy often ranks as the top priority among voters. Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are set to square off in a high-stakes debate on Tuesday less than two months before Election Day.
The Fed announced it will cut interest rates by half a point, its first cut since 2020, making mortgage payments and credit card bills more affordable for Americans. How will the big economic news affect the presidential race?
But the Fed faces a big decision about how much to cut in its quest to achieve a “soft landing” after years of inflation.
The president’s speech on Thursday won’t be a “victory lap,” officials said, but it will celebrate falling inflation and borrowing costs along with solid growth.
After another tumultuous weekend in the presidential campaign, Americans are still largely focused on their finances, new surveys show. That could give an edge to Vice President Kamala Harris.
Congress needs to pass a spending bill by September 30 to avoid a partial government shutdown. Dockworkers and ports must strike a contract by the same date.
Americans are feeling a greater sense of optimism about the US economy this month, thanks to slower inflation. Voters also see a greater likelihood that Vice President Kamala Harris will defeat former President Donald Trump in the upcoming November election.
