The economy directly effects the social issues…so I picked both equally.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

I picked the center line.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Always subject to change if Twitler sticks w\/ ramping up his idiotic Trade War w\/ China and the economy tanks because of it.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Trick question. Social and economic issues are so intertwined that one cannot be truly addressed without the other. Republicans here in the US have been conning us for decades if not centuries trying to convince us that one is more important than the other, ‘Tain’t so.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

I went with Lona, economic issues are rising in importance but that’s due to the bungling of Trump more than real issues with our economy and can be handled. What we are truly struggling with are social issues of every king with racism leading the list. Those we MUST deal with and they will decide the 2018 and 2020 elections, in my opinion.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

I voted "more social and less economic issues" because I believe important economic issues such as poverty and the ever widening gap between the 1% and the rest are social issues in core. Even climate change is a social issue and can only be battled in a serious way with equality and shared responsibility.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Wow! at this point every vote agrees with mine<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font>.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

At this point, with embargoes creating embargoes, tDump yelling thing about no DACA, and the right wing-nuts trying to demean the kids from Parkland, I think the Dems will do best with a message that revolves around economic and social inclusion.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I voted more economic and less social issues.  While I agree that social and economic issues are equally important, I recognize that is a progressive view, and we progressives are a minority of voters.  The majority are less concerned with politics and tend to vote their pocketbooks and wallets.  Concentrating more on economic issues, without forgetting social issues, and supporting each other’s issues will help attract these voters.<\/font><\/p>\n

The new poll is up.<\/font><\/p>\n
