Streaming through California as the presidential primary comes to a close, Hillary Clinton looked past Bernie Sanders last week and moved to claim ground on economic issues for the general election ahead.
First, with Donald Trump rising in national polls, Clinton amplified her criticism of his business record, accusing the New York businessman of rooting for the 2008 housing market collapse so that he could profit from it.
Second, she sought to remind voters that it was a Clinton who was president during the 1990s, an extended period of economic prosperity. While dispatching her husband, Bill, to campaign for her in Southern California and the Central Valley, Hillary Clinton told an audience in Los Angeles County, “Go back 25 years … people were working. People were investing. People were buying homes.”
Twenty-five years later, jobs and the economy stand out as the most pressing concern of California voters heading into the June 7 primary, according to a Field Poll last week on behalf of the USC Schwarzenegger Institute for State and Global Policy. Nearly three in four likely voters rank it among their most important concerns.
“That kind of says a lot,” said Bonnie Reiss, the institute director. “Even though we can see all the statistics about unemployment numbers going down, and we talk about minimum wage going up, it really shows a concern among a lot of people that the whole American dream of home ownership and sending your kids to college and all of that – I think it reflects that a lot more Americans see that slipping away.”
