When respondents are asked to rank the most important issues for the government to address, without being shown any list or being prompted, the economy continues to top the list at 28 percent, but this is down somewhat from its score in July and August (33 percent and 32 percent).

The next four issues, however, are terrorism (24 percent), the "war" (14 percent), Iraq/Saddam Hussein (14 percent) and national security (12 percent).

In other words, the war on terrorism ranks first at 64%.

nice analysis....

a real poll would have divided up economic issues into:

retirement income
medical coverage
job growth
stock market
price of gasoline
interest rates
vs.

America's defense.
