Pelosi “Doesn’t Agree” With Polls Showing Inflation and Crime as Top Issues

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) dismissed new polling that shows issues such as crime and inflation are most important to voters, instead claiming abortion will decide the midterm elections.

“Much of what you’ve said I don’t agree with,” Pelosi said on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports Tuesday. “The New York Times poll, I think, is an outlier poll.”

“It’s also the RealClearPolitics average is showing similar issues,” Andrea Mitchel told the speaker.

“No, but that was one that brought down the average, and it was an outlier,” Pelosi insisted. “It wasn’t even that big a sample. So I dismiss that.”

“I can tell you that women’s concerns about their freedom are very, very much still very significant in terms of how they will vote,” she said.

According to her, “It’s a matter of who turns out to vote.”

Pelosi claimed Democrats want to ease inflation too, “but some of the inflation in our country sprang from the fact that this president created nearly 10 million jobs, at least 9 million jobs.”

“When you’re talking about inflation, unemployment can be dangerously low. So they are not unrelated,” she continued.

She then explained that she feels “pretty good” about the Democrats’ positioning going into the midterm elections.

“We want to give women freedom of choice. They want to have a ban on abortion. We want to support and strengthen Medicare, Social Security, etc. They want to use a debt ceiling to cut that. We have lowered the cost of prescription drugs for seniors. They want to reverse that. We want to save the planet for our children in the future. They say that that’s a hoax,” she told Mitchell, once again insisting that these issues will be at the forefront of voters’ minds.

The economy and inflation were revealed to be top issues in the November midterm elections in a recent New York Times-Siena College poll. It also showed women equally divided between voting for Democratic and Republican candidates, though the sample size was only 792 likely voters.
