New polling data from Gallup shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans do not think handling immigration reform is even close to a top priority for 2014.
Immigration places well behind other issues like healthcare, jobs, the economy, dissatisfaction with Washington politicians, the debt and deficit, lack of money, ethics and moral issues, poverty, the gap between the rich and the poor, education, foreign aid and others. In fact, only three percent of Americans think the issue is a priority that must be dealt with this year.
Americans start the new year with a variety of national concerns on their minds, Gallups Lydia Saad wrote on Wednesday. Although none is dominant, the government, at 21%, leads the list of what Americans consider the most important problem facing the country. The economy closely follows at 18%, and then unemployment/jobs and healthcare, each at 16%. No other issue is mentioned by as much as 10% of the public; however, the federal budget deficit or debt comes close, at 8%.
In fact, immigration is so low among Americans priorities that Saad did not even mention it in her report on Gallups findings. It is, however, listed near the bottom of a chart of Americans priorities, slightly above welfare and lack of respect for each other as issues Americans think need to be dealt with.
