In an open-ended question, allowing for any answer, American voters list the economy/jobs and healthcare as their top priorities, two issues for which President Barack Obama gets low job approval ratings, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today.


Naming "the top priority for President Obama and Congress in 2014," 15 percent of voters say the economy, while 16 percent list jobs or unemployment, a total of 31 percent, while 18 percent list healthcare, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. A total of 10 percent list the budget, the budget deficit, spending or other budget-related items. Another 4 percent list bi-partisanship or cooperation and 2 percent list education.


American voters give President Obama a negative 40 - 54 percent approval rating, compared to 41 - 53 percent January 8, and 38 - 57 percent December 10, indications that his plunge has leveled off.


But voters give Obama his lowest grades for their top priorities:
Negative 39 - 56 percent for his handling of the economy;
Negative 36 - 59 percent for his handling of healthcare;
Positive 48 - 41 percent for handling terrorism;
Negative 40 - 49 percent for foreign policy;
Negative 39 - 47 percent for handling Iran.

Honestly, I don't even care about Obama anymore. I don't believe he's really in charge, and Congress has all the power anyway.

Congress has more power in domestic matters; the executive in foriegn matters.

Because the senate is a Dem majority, the congress (house) is fairly well neutered.

You should really come to realize that I don't care a whit what you have to say about Obama and the Democratic party, because I think your opinion on Obama and the Democratic party is blinded by your partisan hackery. Same reason I don't care to listen to certain right-wing members here talk about the Republican party.

Just like Pawlenty said; they are getting their Ass-Kicked ... and there's nothing they can do about a 2 term Back-2-Black Presidential Winner but cry in their corn Flakes :grin:

And, history will show that putting that black 'man' in charge turned out to be a disaster.
Way to go!
