Abortion/Border Security/Economy Are Three 'Deal Breaker' Issues, Fox News

US

A new Fox News survey has found that three issues meet the criteria of presidential election ‘deal-breaker’ ahead of the general election in November. An issue, “so important to a voter that it alone decides whether they can back a candidate or not.”

  • According to Fox, Abortion, border security, and the economy all fight for the top "deal-breaker" spot, with different groups of voters citing each:: “At 15%, abortion edges out the economy and border security/immigration (each at 14%) as the biggest deal-breaker issue.”
  • Biden is considered to have a clear advantage over Trump on abortion, with Trump leading on both the economy and immigration. Six months out from the presidential election, Biden's policy on immigration could be decisive if he is to close a slim polling advantage for Trump.
  • Fox News: “Abortion is the biggest single issue among self-described Democrats (24%)... Border security is buoyed by being the number one deal-breaker among self-described very conservatives (28%), Republicans (25%)... The economy is the single deciding issue among White evangelicals (19%), Hispanic voters (17%), independents (17%)..."
