Does the economy still matter for elections? With John Burn-Murdoch

Update: 2024-07-01

Description

For years, pollsters described elections as referendums on the economy. But recently, voters have started to change how they talk about the economy, and how they vote. Today on the show, data reporter John Burn-Murdoch joins Soumaya to discuss shifts in how voters are thinking, and what that means for democracy.
