More than half of respondents to a DBJ poll said their greatest concern heading into the presidential election is the economy. 

With the presidential election fewer than 50 days away, the most prevalent concern in the Dayton region is the economy, according to a Dayton Business Journal online poll. 

More than half of 213 poll respondents said their “greatest concern heading into the presidential election” is the economy, followed by 23 percent who said it’s the national debt. 

Another 5 percent said they’re focused on taxes, and only 1 percent said national security. 

The rest — 15 percent — said they’re mainly concerned with something other than the given choices. 

Ohio has become a battleground state in this presidential election for its history of voting for both Republican and Democratic candidates. In 2008, Ohio supported President Barack Obama.
