Research: Economy top of mind for midterm voters in Arkansas

As Arkansans head to the polls Nov. 3 for the midterm elections, a Pew Research poll showed the costs of household essentials are a top economic concern for voters. More than 500,000 registered voters cast early ballots in Arkansas, an increase from 2024. J.

Some counties with the most expensive gas are Montgomery, Boone and Newton. The poll found Americans have a negative outlook on national economic conditions, with just 21% saying things are excellent or good. Collins added gains in the stock market are not improving people’s everyday
