As the country inches closer toward Election Day, voters are homing in on issues that may decide the fate of Congress and several state governments in November.
The Washington Examiner is tracking which issues are on the top of voters' minds as they prepare to head to the polls, particularly in key battleground states that could bring a shift in power to the federal government. Specifically, we’re tracking how voters are researching our top five issues — abortion, crime, education, inflation, and taxes — and how these interests fluctuate as we get closer to Election Day.
Texas voters will also head to the polls to choose their representatives for several House races, with Republicans seeking to gain control of Congress in November.Education emerged as the top issue among Texas voters over the last month, reigning as the No. 1 searched topic as of Sept. 19, according to internet searches recorded and analyzed by Google Trends.
It’s not clear what is driving the interest behind tax-related searches, but it may have something to do with the race for Texas’s comptroller as Republican Glenn Hegar has attracted headlines in his bid for a third term. The race for comptroller, a position that acts as the state’s chief tax collector, typically flies under the radar.
O’Rourke again made headlines on the matter after criticizing a heckler who laughed as the Democratic candidate called for increased gun control in the state. “It may be funny to you, motherf***er,” O'Rourke said, “but it’s not funny to me.”Abortion remained a low-researched topic among Texas voters over the last 30 days, coming in at No. 4 as of Sept. 19.
