Fewer Americans now cite unemployment as most important problem

PRINCETON, NJ -- Americans' concerns about the federal budget deficit and government dysfunction rose high enough in January to knock unemployment out of the top two slots on Gallup's "most important problem" list for the first time since 2009.

These results are based on a Jan. 7-10 Gallup poll, conducted just after Washington lawmakers narrowly avoided the fiscal cliff by virtue of a resolution that in part postponed the deadline for legislated sequestration of spending until March 1. Additionally, a debt ceiling deadline looms within the next two months.

Now what did that idiotic WaPoCompost/ABC Spews poll say again?

That would be a FABULOUS platform to run on come 2014/2016! We can cut the debt! We can cut spending! We can reduce the size of Big Government! We can find you a JOB!

Now, if we only had some true Constitution-loving CONSERVATIVES in the fold...

*SIGH*

Gun Control is only a concern for 4 % of the population. For that we need 18 executive orders and the nationalization of the gun market ?

The relevance of the constitution is not a popularity contest.
