WASHINGTON - Americans of various racial backgrounds largely agree that the government should focus on the economy and foreign policy issues in 2024, but recent polling shows that views among racial groups diverge on some high-profile topics, including racism and immigration.
About 75% of U.S. adults across racial backgrounds - including white, Black, Hispanic and Asian adults - name issues related to the economy in an open-ended question that asks people to share up to five topics they would like the government to prioritize in 2024, making it the most commonly mentioned issue for each group.
Inflation stood out as a major issue. About 30% of white, AAPI or Hispanic list inflation as an important focus for 2024 compared to 20% of Black adults.
The data on U.S. adults overall - including Black, Hispanic and whites - comes from an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll conducted in December. The data on AAPI communities comes from an AAPI Data/AP-NORC poll that aims to improve the survey data available about Asian American communities in the U.S., which are often underrepresented in public opinion research.
