The registered voters expressed they are more concerned for the climate than inflation, despite it hitting a 40-year high of 9.1% in June. Following the soaring prices of consumer goods and gas, the gross domestic product (GDP) dropped for a second consecutive quarter in July and the economy entered into a technical recession.
For 91% of Republicans and 67% of independents in Wisconsin, inflation was the issue of the highest concern. Climate change ranked the least concerning issue for Republicans.
