Political strategists sometimes say campaigns are all about the economy, but Americans don't necessarily base their votes on the state of their financial affairs.
In a survey of 2,300 adults, MyBankTracker.com found that 59% of respondents wouldn't let their vote depend on a candidate's expected impact on their finances.
More women (63%) than men (54%) said their vote wouldn't be tied to their finances.
Party affiliation also appeared to come into play on the question of votes and finances, according to the survey.
Among Democrats, 73% said their vote doesn't depend on the candidate's impact on their finances, while 59% of Republicans and 56% of independents felt the same way.
For Democrats, income inequality is the financial factor with the biggest influence on their vote (32%); economic growth was the largest factor for Republicans (37%) and independents (21%), said the survey.
"With the economy in a recession, we were a bit surprised to see the majority of those polled will not vote based on finances—especially in the midst of widespread unemployment from the coronavirus pandemic," Simon Zhen, senior research analyst for MyBankTracker and the study's author, said in a statement. "We expected more voters would consider the candidate's impact on the stock market, investing or even the job market."
About 25% of the survey's respondents said that their finances would not affect their vote at all.
Asked about how their personal finances have been impacted by the Trump administration, about half said there has been no change; 36% said there has been an improvement and 14% said their finances have worsened, said MyBankTracker.com.
When asked which candidate gave them the least financial anxiety, 33.9% said Donald Trump, 31.8% said Joe Biden and 29% preferred not to say.
