I know Republicans have been trying to emphasize inflation, but that issue seems to be losing some steam with the combination of Kamala replacing Biden and inflation subsiding. Gas prices hitting two-year lows is also helping, as many people equate gas prices to the state of the economy.
To me, there are a lot of parallels to 1984. Inflation was rampant in 1981 and 1982, and there was a lot of anger against Reagan. By 1984, inflation had cooled, the stock market was hot, and people were not that upset about the economy when they finally went into the voting booth in November 1984.
