The latest CBS/NYT poll:
one area of agreement among pluralities of each party’s loyalists is that job creation should be of paramount concern to Congress — half of Democrats, 41 percent of independents and 35 percent of Republicans agreed.
On the whole, more than 4 in 10 Americans said jobs should be the primary focus of the new Congress, while significantly fewer chose health care (18 percent), the federal budget deficit (14 percent), the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (12 percent) or illegal immigration (7 percent).
Given that the public's top priority is job creation, it's only natural that the House Republican agenda would focus on repealing health care reform, restricting abortion, reading an edited version of the Constitution, launching investigative witch hunts, and changing budget rules to allow tax cuts without considering the impact on the deficit. The only thing that's missing is jobs!
