Oh my gosh, Chuck, this is hitting people, they\u2019re having trouble paying their mortgage, they\u2019re having trouble making car payments because of bad policies out of Washington. Should they be?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe beauty of the American system is that every voter has the right, and almost the responsibility, to be selfish with their vote, to vote for what is best for themselves and their family,\u201d he continued. \u201cThat\u2019s exactly what\u2019s going to happen in a week\u2026because frankly, folks that think the average voter is worried about 2020, it\u2019s a serious issue, of course, but it\u2019s not what people are going to be voting on in the next week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pressed on the question again, Sununu stressed that \u201cthreats to democracy\u201d are important issues that need to be addressed, but voters should absolutely be concerned with more pressing local issues and the economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s 35 degrees out [in New England],\u201d Sununu said. \u201cFolks are filling up their 270-gallon [home heating oil] tanks, and it\u2019s costing them ($1200-$1300). Kerosene is limited because there\u2019s no incentive to create more natural gas or more fuel for this country, and that should be our priority: keeping people warm this winter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even in NBC News\u2019s own polling, Americans were more likely to say that economic issues and inflation were the country\u2019s most pressing concerns. According to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/23171526-220699-nbc-news-october-poll-v3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NBC News poll<\/a> conducted earlier this month, a combined choice of 35% of Americans considered \u201cjobs and the economy\u201d as one of the most important issues; another 29% said it was the \u201ccost of living.\u201d Just 30% considered \u201cthreats to democracy\u201d a pressing issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Hampshire Republican Governor Chris Sununu traded barbs with NBC News\u2019s Chuck Todd over what voters should prioritize this election cycle.
