From Gallup:
Cluster of Concerns Vie for Top U.S. Problem in 2014
In 2014, four issues generated enough public concern over enough months for at least 10% of Americans, on average, to identify each of them as the nation's most important problem. Complaints about government leadership -- including President Barack Obama, the Republicans in Congress and general political conflict -- led the list, at 18%. This was closely followed by mentions of the economy in general (17%), unemployment or jobs (15%) and healthcare (10%).
Here is the list - note that they are tracking items of concern to greater than 2% of the total US population:
See Climate Change anywhere on this list? How about the Environment? Stick a fork in it folks - it is done.
Conversely, why is it that less than 2% of our population is able to hog the limelight so much? Dirty Coal (no such thing these days), Renewable Energy (epic fail there!), Anthropogenic Global Warming (when it has been cooling for the last 18 years).
