The results of a new nationwide poll of registered voters have been released with issues Americans find most important and want the Congress and/or president States to tackle – the results will surprise you.
Here’s what Americans want Congress and the President to tackle
A poll sponsored by The Wall Street Journal, ALG Research, and the firm Fabarazio Lee, conducted during November 2021, reveals a list of the issues that voters find to be the most important to them.
What is most surprising is that the current administration’s priorities were viewed as lower priorities by the majority of respondents.
The majority of those surveyed, 42%, said they were or leaned Democrat. Their priorities were surprisingly middle-of-the-road. Forty percent said they were or leaned Republican, and 15% said they were independent or something else, while 3% claimed not to know what they were, the Daily Wire reported.
What is the most important issue that you want the president and U.S. Congress to make a priority?
The above is the question asked of 1500 registered voters in the poll, who were told it was open-ended, and multiple responses were acceptable.
Rep. Jim Banks (R-IA) tweeted an image showing the top results of the poll.
