Item: Economy, Jobs Trump All Other Policy Priorities In 2009: Environment, Immigration, Health Care Slip Down the List/Pew Research Center

More Info: As Barack Obama takes office, the public’s focus is overwhelmingly on domestic policy concerns – particularly the economy. Strengthening the nation’s economy and improving the job situation stand at the top of the public’s list of domestic priorities for 2009. Meanwhile, the priority placed on issues such as the environment, crime, illegal immigration and even reducing health care costs has fallen off from a year ago.

Question: No surprise that economy and jobs are the top two concerns that Americans have as the Obama administration begins. Are you surprised that global warming is dead last?
