"Excuse me, there's money in my eyes."
A Gallup poll from
last week found that:
Americans continue to name the government (18%) as the most important U.S. problem, a distinction it has had for the past four months. Americans' mentions of the economy as the top problem (11%) dropped this month, leaving it tied with jobs (10%) for second place.
Other problems that have been higher on the list over the past year include:
- Terrorism
- Healthcare
- Race Relations
- Immigration
Interestingly, healthcare and the economy have been dropping slightly over recent weeks—maybe people actually having affordable healthcare is making them happy about it? Maybe not. One thing is clear, our Congress is a disaster and Americans know it.
