Economic Voting

Economic voting is a theory suggesting that voters tend to support the current government if the economy is doing well, and prefer opposing parties or leaders if the economy is struggling. Essentially, people judge leaders based on economic conditions like employment rates, inflation, and overall prosperity. When the economy improves, they reward those in power; when it worsens, they seek change. This behavior helps explain patterns in elections, where voter choices often reflect economic performance rather than other issues alone.
