Summary

Questions of character may dominate media coverage of the 2016 campaign, but the economy tops the specific issue concerns of voters. Dr. Melissa Miller joins Wade Gottschalk, the Executive Director of the Wood County Office of Economic Development, to compare the economic proposals of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. They do so against the backdrop of current economic conditions, voter perceptions of America’s economic performance, and the propensity of voters to weigh both economic conditions and their personal economic fortunes when casting a ballot.
