Presidential election exposes America's 'perilous' divides Presidential elections are typically clarifying moments that convey the wishes of the American people to the next wave of elected officialsNEW YORK -- Presidential elections can be revealing moments that convey the wishes of the American people to the next wave of elected officials. Biden voters overwhelming say they want the federal government to prioritize limiting the spread of the virus, even if that means further damage to the economy. About half of Trump voters also called the economy and jobs the top issue facing the nation, while only 1 in 10 Biden voters named it most important. On race and justice issues, Biden voters almost universally said racism is a serious problem in U.S. society and in policing. But only a slim majority of Trump voters, who are overwhelming white, called racism a serious problem.
