A CNBC survey released October 25, 2026 found that the economy remains a key issue in the 2026 election, but that voters are concerned about other matters. Respondents said they worry about President Trump testing the bounds of the office and about Democratic Socialist policies. The survey asked Democrats and Republicans what they fear most about the other party. The findings point to non-economic concerns shaping voter sentiment ahead of the midterms, though the economy still ranks as a central issue.
