(CNSNews.com) – Despite the administration’s high-priority focus on climate change, the issue is at the bottom of a list of 13 concerns that are most pressing for registered U.S. voters in next month’s midterm election, according to a new Gallup poll.

Only 40 percent of respondents identified climate change as either “very important” or “extremely important” to their votes.

By contrast the list was topped by the economy (88 percent), followed by the availability of good jobs (86 percent), the way the federal government is working (81 percent), and Islamic militants in Iraq and Syria (78 percent).

Registered voters next viewed as very or extremely important to their vote the issues of equal pay for women (75 percent), the federal budget deficit (73 percent), foreign affairs (69 percent) and taxes (69 percent).

Further down in order of importance were immigration (65 percent), Obamacare (64 percent), income and wealth distribution in the U.S. (64 percent), abortion and access to contraception (50 percent) – and then climate change (40 percent).

I be heard liberals lament that too many people just don’t think global warming is important. Oh well.

Even if for sake of argument, we say it is important, we still have to deal with other threats such as ISIS and Ebola. And set priorities as we decide what to do. Isn’t ISIS a much clearer immediate threat than some nebulous forecasts about global warming????

if the worthless bastards spent half amount of effort on something that mattered, we might care.

this is obvious payback for someone donating money and the voters don’t care or believe them.

hey, I heard they will lie....

I remember over the summer both Newsweek and the Washington Post ran feature articles linking global warming and ebola. Wanna bet Greenpeace, Sierra Club and the others in the warming hoax crowd are gearing up their fundraising campaigns using that theme in light of ebola hitting our shores.

Maybe the propaganda isn’t working because people know it hasn’t gotten any warmer for 15 years now.

Anybody that has even an inkling of what EBola is and doesn't care about, whether they have a job or insurance is brain dead and not somebody I'm going to worry about.
