The Top 16 Issues for 2020 Election
SOURCE: Several Issues Tie as Most Important in 2020 Election - Gallup Poll Jan 13, 2020
This poll asked Americans what the important issues were to them for the 2020 election cycle. What is important to you is likely to be found in the table below. You should vote for the candidate that takes the position that you agree with on the issues that are important to you.
I am adding my own remarks in the Democrats and Republicans columns below - these did NOT come from the gallup poll.
