Is the economy really the most important issue for the US Presidential election?

Let’s say you really agree with a candidates very specific plan for improving the economy, and also to increase employment and fix healthcare and social programs like medicare and social security, or even get rid of one of those social systems if that is what you want. I mean he/she is saying everything you want to hear, really sounds logical.

But, his/her social views are completely opposite yours. Abortion, gay marriage, even scientific research that goes against your moral and ethical compass.

Are you going to vote economy? Or, are the social issues going to be the end all be all ultimately that decides your vote?

Feel free to answer if you live outside of the US in relation to your own country and politics there. I only put US in the main question because our Presidential race is about to heat up.
