Fox News Poll: Voters trust Trump on economy, Clinton on foreign policy, nuclear weapons

More American voters trust Donald Trump to do a better job than Hillary Clinton on the issue most say will decide their vote this year: the economy. But, Clinton tops Trump in other key areas, including foreign policy -- and nuclear weapons.

That’s according to a new Fox News national poll on top issues in the 2016 election.

Relatively few voters, 26 percent, feel they’re better off now compared to before President Barack Obama took office.

So it should be no surprise about four voters in 10 -- Democrats and Republicans alike -- say the economy will be the issue that decides their vote for president (39 percent).

No other issue comes close. Here’s how the others rank: 14 percent say national security will be most important in their vote, 10 percent each for education and health care, and 8 percent each for immigration and social issues such as abortion and gay marriage.
