The five biggest issues of the 2024 election
In the run-up to elections, Americans are hit with a firehose of content about the issues at stake. In this report, we aim to cut through some of that coverage and highlight what is actually breaking through from the reporting and social posts.
To do that, we’ve examined five key issues that are gaining the most traction online and might influence the public’s vote — the economy, immigration, abortion, health care, and foreign policy.
What you will learn about in this report:
The levels of media coverage for each topic in 2024, and how the public has engaged with that reporting
The top articles since the beginning of September, to show what’s impactful on each topic in the weeks running up to the election
Influential subtopics and social posts that are getting high engagement, from workers’ strikes to the candidates’ policies
