在大美国博览会上，美国人对就业和经济增长持谨慎乐观态度，但许多人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，价值观和领导力比选举中的经济状况更重要。

当美国人齐聚美国首都庆祝独立日，开启美国第250周年庆典活动时，福克斯新闻数字频道在国家广场的大美国博览会上询问与会者，经济状况是否会影响他们在11月大选的投票意向。
尽管大多数受访者给美国经济打了及格分——最常见的是“B”档，但许多人表示，他们的选票不会仅仅取决于通胀、就业或经济增长。相反，他们指出价值观、领导力和党派归属将最终决定他们的投票选择。
这些回应展现了部分选民在2026年中期选举前如何权衡这个美国顶级政治议题之一。

尽管受访者对经济走向持谨慎乐观态度，但有几人表示，经济状况改善不足以改变他们的政治倾向，这突显出更广泛的意识形态和文化议题在塑造选民决策中持续发挥的作用。
“和过去相比，我肯定会给经济打个B，”路易斯安那州拉斐特的杰伊·米勒告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“我认为我们正处于一场前所未有的经济繁荣的边缘。我很高兴能活在这个时代，亲眼见证这一切。”
米勒表示，他认为议员们应更紧密地与唐纳德·特朗普总统合作，推进本届政府的议程，他认为此举将有助于释放进一步的经济增长。
来自马萨诸塞州格林菲尔德的唐娜·费斯廷格也给经济打了高于平均水平的分数，给出了“B+”。
“我认为经济正在上升，我们的就业机会越来越多，这真的对美国所有人都有帮助，”这位退休教师告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“我认为本届政府正在努力帮助所有人赚更多的钱，存更多的钱，这将反过来促进经济向好发展。”
但本周在华盛顿特区的并非所有人都如此乐观。
福克斯新闻民调：多数人对经济评价负面，包括一半共和党人

来自加州霍利斯特的邦妮给经济打了“C”， citing对物价的持续担忧，但表示她希望经济状况会持续改善。
“我认为现在情况不太好，”她提到家乡加州的高油价时说。“我会给个C，但我希望情况会好转，很快就能升到B档。”
72岁的丹·库达的评价介于两者之间，他表示尽管存在通胀，经济仍有“很大的上行潜力”。
“食品价格很贵。我是空军退伍军人，现在还在军人合作社购物，价格明显上涨了，”马里兰州居民库达告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
军人合作社是军事基地内的杂货店，为符合条件的军人、退伍军人及其家属提供折扣价格。
尽管食品成本上涨，库达仍表示：“我会称之为……B级经济。”

当话题从经济转向政治时，几名美国人表示，经济状况并非他们计划投票的决定性因素。
“这真的不会影响我的投票，”库达说，并补充道“不管怎样，我都会投共和党人的票。”

米勒也表达了同样的观点，他表示在投票时，品格和价值观比经济表现更重要。
“给我优秀的人才，”他说。“给我保守派。给我有信仰、重视家庭、恪守价值观的人。那就能得到我的选票。”

We asked Americans to grade the economy. Then we asked if it would change their vote.
Great American Fair attendees grade the economy a ‘B’ and credit the Trump administration for rising jobs

[‘I’d give it a B’: Americans grade the economy, say it won’t decide their vote]https://www.foxnews.com/video/6400036824112
At the Great American State Fair, Americans expressed cautious optimism about jobs and growth, but many told Fox News Digital values and leadership matter more than economic conditions at the ballot box.

As Americans gather in the nation’s capital to celebrate the Fourth of July and kick off the nation’s 250th anniversary festivities, Fox News Digital asked attendees at the Great American Fair on the National Mall whether the economy will influence how they vote in November.
While most respondents gave the U.S. economy a passing grade — most commonly a “B” — many said their ballots won’t hinge on inflation, jobs or economic growth alone. Instead, they pointed to values, leadership and party affiliation as the factors that will ultimately decide their vote.
The responses offer a snapshot of how some voters are weighing one of the nation’s top political issues ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Although respondents expressed cautious optimism about the economy’s direction, several said improving conditions would not be enough to change their political preferences, underscoring the role that broader ideological and cultural issues continue to play in shaping voter decisions.
“I would probably give the economy, compared to what it was, I would give it a B for sure,” Jay Miller of Lafayette, Louisiana, told Fox News Digital. “I think we are on the verge of an economic boom like we’ve never seen in our nation. And I’m glad that I’m living at this point and this time to witness it firsthand.”
Miller said he believes lawmakers should work more closely with President Donald Trump to advance the administration’s agenda, arguing that doing so would help unlock further economic growth.
Donna Festinger from Greenfield, Massachusetts, also gave the economy above average marks, grading it a “B-plus.”
“I think it’s on the rise and we’re getting more and more jobs, which I think really helps everyone in America,” the retired schoolteacher told Fox News Digital. “I think this administration is working hard to help everybody earn more money and to be able to save more money, which will circle back into a better economy.”
But not everyone in Washington, D.C. this week was as upbeat.

Bonnie from Hollister, California gave the economy a “C,” citing ongoing concerns about prices, but said she’s hopeful conditions will continue improving.
“I don’t think it’s great right now,” she said, citing high gas prices in her home state of California. “I would say maybe a C, but I’m hopeful that it’s going to turn around and be getting up to a B soon.”
Dan Cuda, 72, landed somewhere in the middle, saying the economy still has “a lot of upside potential” despite inflation.
“Groceries are pricey. I’m an Air Force veteran, and I’m still shopping at the military commissaries, and it’s noticeably up,” Cuda, a Maryland resident, told Fox News Digital.
Military commissaries are grocery stores on military installations that offer discounted prices to eligible service members, veterans and their families.
Despite higher food costs, Cuda still said, “I’d call it a… B economy.”

When the conversation shifted from the economy to politics, several Americans said economic conditions weren’t the deciding factor in how they plan to vote.
“It doesn’t really factor into my vote,” Cuda said, adding “I’m voting R no matter what.”

Miller echoed that sentiment, saying character and values outweigh economic performance when it comes to casting his vote at the ballot box.
“Give me good people,” he said. “Give me conservatives. Give me somebody with a little faith, a little family, a little value. And that’s got my vote.”

Bonnie also said the economy matters, but won’t change her support for her preferred candidate.
“It does matter, but it’s not gonna keep me from voting for who I wanna vote for,” the Californian said.
