The BBC interviewed Americans across the country about the issue that matters most to them in this year's midterm elections. The reporting is part of its Voter Voices series.
Many of those interviewed cited the economy. The source describes it as the number one issue for most voters, according to polls. Others raised law and order, immigration and healthcare. Some voters said they fear the US becoming either fascist or communist.
The interviews were gathered and filmed by a team of reporters and producers credited in the piece.
