U.S. midterm elections are about two weeks away, and the biggest voting issue for the American public: the economy. A close second, according to NBC polling, is the preservation of American democracy. CNBC’s Ylan Mui explains the widespread concern about election integrity, and political strategist and pollster Frank Luntz urges both sides of the political aisle to stop their squabbling in the name of democracy. Luntz also issues a warning to markets and voters: midterm polling might be misleading. Plus, the Fed’s plan for interest rates is driving market volatility, Google is facing backlash over email management, President Xi Jinping is tightening his grip on power in China, and the UK’s new Prime Minister has been named: Rishi Sunak.
