After the deadly terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California, Americans are now more likely to name terrorism as the top issue facing the U.S. than to name any other issue -- including those that have typically topped the list recently, such as the economy and the government. About one in six Americans, 16%, now identify terrorism as the most important U.S. problem, up from just 3% in early November.
This is the highest percentage of Americans to mention terrorism in a decade, although it is still lower than the 46% measured after 9/11. Before 2001, terrorism barely registered as the most important problem facing the country.
After 9/11, terrorism faded as the top problem, although mentions have spiked after major terrorist incidents. In 2004, mentions rose as high as 19% after the Madrid train bombings, and then jumped again to 17% in 2005 after the London train and bus bombings. Since 2007, less than 10% of Americans -- sometimes less than 1% -- have mentioned terrorism in Gallup's monthly updates, although mentions did spike again to 8% in early 2010 after the failed "underwear bombing."

The Democrats are stuck on global warming and gun control, carrying out the government’s agenda instead of the people’s.
While it is good the please see terrorism as a big issue, I am not liking the huge drop-off in the economy numbers. Are people really that blind to economic realities in this country?
Per the chart: economy. government, guns, terrorism...
Seems that the problem is still obama
the please => the people (sheesh!)
That’s ridiculous. Clearly the Number One problem in America is all the Non-Americans in America.
Environment / Pollution at 3%.
Global Warming is NOWHERE in the public consciousness.
Where’s global warming? Everybody says it’s #1!
“...Seems that the problem is still Obama...”
Always has been...supported by the malfeasant Congress.
The Egyptian government, at least, has the good sense to outlaw the Muslim Brotherhood. We let its equivalent (CAIR and other assorted malcontents) operate openly.
The King of Jordan has the good sense to let his pilots hit actual targets. We hamstring our pilots with idiotic rules of engagement which render most of our military missions impotent.
“Per the chart: economy. government, guns, terrorism...”
Actually for December ‘15 it looks like: terrorism, government, economy, guns. Somebody needs to tell them that there are other colors besides shades of green.
How can this be???
The Obumbler has told us it's CLIMATE CHANGE.
Please don't tell me Obunga is LYING! /s
Obama is No. 1 on my list of U.S. Problems.
DUUHHHHH...?
This bill of particulars against obozo is as important as it is LONG and EXHAUSTIVE. It could easily become THE KEY prosecution document in some future trial for TREASON. Like the one that will never take place unless and until we send some folks with actual SPINES to Capitol Hill — so don’t hold your breath.
In case you are still confused about why all of this is “going down”, here’s the bottom line: Obozo, Hillary and and the crew of criminals with whom they’ve surrounded themselves have spent the last half dozen years INTENTIONALLY DESTABILIZING the Middle East knowing that the ensuing chaos would displace MILLIONS of former residents of those countries, driving them east into Europe and destabilizing that continent. While no saint, former KGB colonel Putin has weighed into the fray, hoping to keep any more muslims from entering Russia. You may recall that he had — and still has — problems with the muslims in Chechnya who blew up a Russian school and killed several hundred kids. Unlike obozo, Putin wants no more of them!
The orchestrated fall of Europe now opens a clear path for the fall of America. The ostensibly “humanitarian” call from Washington to import only God knows how many muslim “refugees” (many of whom are military age, physically fit MEN) will TOO LATE prove to have been an INVASION. And America — the IDEA the Founders sought to leave us — will join the others on the scrapheap of history.
Many years ago, I became familiar with the terms “One World Government” and “New World Order”. Then the threat was “godless communism”. It now appears that since that threat failed, a new one was needed. Before communism, it was Nazism. JFK wrote (or had ghosted) a book entitled “Why England Slept” about how England and the rest of Europe failed to heed the warning signs. WWII and the deaths of 50 to 80 million was the result.
If we fail to WAKE UP and lose the coming fight against the alien political system — it’s NOT a RELIGION — known as islam, we WILL join the rest of a by then muslim, shari’a law dominated planet in that international oligarch lusted for New World Order. It will be indistinguishable from those earlier tyrannies with one exception: Because it will be ruled by largely insane Arabic moon god “allah” worshiping, Quran reciting imams, it will be far more vicious than even the earlier blood soaked muslim invasions of Europe and the Holy Land that triggered the Christian Crusades. Only those who know little or nothing of the violent roots and history of islam are still asleep.
Do what you can to awaken them before it’s too late.
Here endith the editorial.
Well then, they are Un-American.
The government run by the ultra-leftist, illegal alien, anti-American, muslim-lover currently, illegally infesting the Rainbow Hut (no matter his perceived "color") -- is America's #1 problem.
Hussein Obama and the Muslim terrorist nations that made him POTUS, are still sure by the time you figure out WHO Obama is working for and why, it will be too late.
