Jobs, Government, and Economy Remain Top U.S. Problems
http://www.gallup.com/poll/169289/jobs-government-economy-remain-top-problems.aspxWASHINGTON, D.C. -- Twenty percent of Americans name unemployment or jobs as the most important problem facing the country in May, up from 14% who mentioned these issues in April. Dysfunctional government (19%) and the economy in general (17%) also rank among the top problems.
These three issues -- jobs, economy, and government -- have been at the top of the "most important problem" list since the beginning of the year. Mentions of government and politicians rose sharply to 33% in October amid the partial government shutdown, but have dipped back down.
Yet, the Obama administration thinks race relations and climate change is most important.
