The People's Priorities

The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, a part of the Pew Charitable Trusts, has released the results of a new survey into the US public's priorities. The full release may be found at: http://people-press.org/report/584/policy-priorities-2010.

All of the material in their short, two-page report is very interesting, but I thought, Dear Reader, that you might find these two charts worthy of your time. I hope politicians will actually read this Pew Report:

Below are the Center's words describing itself:

ABOUT THE CENTER
The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press is an independent opinion research group that studies attitudes toward the press, politics and public policy issues. We are sponsored by The Pew Charitable Trusts and are one of seven projects that make up the Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan "fact tank" that provides information on the issues, attitudes and trends shaping America and the world.

The Center's purpose is to serve as a forum for ideas on the media and public policy through public opinion research. In this role it serves as an important information resource for political leaders, journalists, scholars, and public interest organizations. All of our current survey results are made available free of charge.
