PRINCETON, NJ -- A recent CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll finds terrorism at the top of the list when Americans are asked to rate the importance of several issues to their vote for president next year. Education, Iraq, and the economy are also among the issues Americans say will be most critical to their vote. Despite the increased publicity focused on gay and lesbian issues, relatively few Americans say these will affect their vote.
The poll was conducted Dec. 5-7 and asked Americans to indicate how important the candidates' positions on each of nine issues would be to their vote in 2004.

I don't think we should put too much emphasis on where people stand on issues right now but still it's interesting.
