June 26, 2020: Forty-seven percent (47%) of voters nationwide say that Supreme Court nominations will be a very important voting issue in terms of deciding their vote for president. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that total includes 56% of Democrats, 48% of Republicans, and 35% of those not affiliated with either major party.[1]

Still, despite the significance of the Supreme Court, five other issues were seen as very important by a larger number of voters. Seventy-three percent (73%) consider healthcare to be a very important voting issue while 67% say the same about the economy. Close behind, 64% say civil rights issues are very important while an identical number say law and order is that important. Immigration is seen as very important by 53% of voters.[1]

On most of the issues, there is little difference between the views of those who are out working and those who are not interacting with customers or co-workers. However, there is a substantial divide on the issue of law and order. Among those workers who regularly interact with both customers and co-workers, 78% say law and order is a very important issue. Among those who are not interacting with others, just 49% hold that view.[1]
