Study: Economic matters of highest priority among likely general election voters in Mississippi
SUMMARY: As election season intensifies in Mississippi, a Cygnal survey reveals that economic issues dominate voters’ concerns. Conducted in late August, the survey highlights inflation, the economy, and the cost of living as top priorities, with tax policies closely trailing. Governor Tate Reeves and Lt. Governor Delbert Hosemann have differing tax reduction proposals, focusing on eliminating state income tax versus lowering sales tax on groceries, respectively. Healthcare also ranks high, especially amid Mississippi’s ongoing hospital crisis and high maternal and infant mortality rates. House Speaker Jason White emphasized the need for data-driven legislative decisions to address these issues.
