Republicans have regained a clear lead over Democrats on the
two issues most important to voters: the economy (R+8) and inflation (R+6),
according to the latest polls.
Last month, amid heightened tariff tensions, a Napolitan
News poll showed Democrats narrowing the gap, matching Republicans on the
economy (R+1) and even slightly ahead on inflation (D+4). However, this month's
figures mark a return to the overall trend seen at the beginning of the year,
when Republicans held a double-digit lead on both issues (R+10 on the economy
in January and February; R+11 and R+9 on inflation in February and January,
respectively), Napolitan News Service reported.
The rebound in Republican confidence appears to be linked to
the positive voter response to President Donald Trump's recent trade deal with
China and growing economic optimism. Inflation (29%) and the economy (25%)
remain the top issues for voters.
