Public's Priorities for 2010: Economy, Jobs, Terrorism (Globull Warming dead last!)

As Barack Obama begins his second year in office, the public’s priorities for the president and Congress remain much as they were one year ago. Strengthening the nation’s economy and improving the job situation continue to top the list. And, in the wake of the failed Christmas Day terrorist attack on a Detroit-bound airliner, defending the country from future terrorist attacks also remains a top priority.

At the same time, the public has shifted the emphasis it assigns to two major policy issues: dealing with the nation’s energy problem and reducing the budget deficit. About half (49%) say that dealing with the nation’s energy problem should be a top priority, down from 60% a year ago. At the same time, there has been a modest rise in the percentage saying that reducing the budget deficit should be a top priority, from 53% to 60%.

Other policy priorities show little change from a year ago. For example, despite the ongoing debate over health care reform, about as many now call reducing health care costs a top priority (57%) as did so in early 2009 (59%). In fact, the percentage rating health care costs a top priority is lower now than it was in both 2008 (69%) and 2007 (68%).

How many surveys does the kenyan klod need to see? Is he this out of touch? Jobs, Jobs, Jobs!!!! That’s what people want, and not the phony baloney government jobs he’s always spouting off with. Cut taxes and spending across the board. Put as much effort into cutting the useless programs and bureaucracy as you put into screwing the country and your presidency will be remembered as one of the greatest.
