Abstract

In their invaluable annual survey of public opinion polls for Challenge, the authors have found that the economy was the number one issue for voters—specifically jobs. Donald Trump clearly exploited these concerns on an almost daily basis. Additionally, voters believe job losses were often the result of trade. They also believe lower taxes on American business would bring back jobs. These results, whether one agrees or not, are a likely guideline for Trump’s policy priorities as president.
