A recent poll shows that global warming ranks dead last as a concern for the majority of Americans.
The economy, deficit spending, the size of the federal deficit and terrorism all ranked higher.
So how will this affect Al Gore?
Where will he find the money for all of the cheeseburgers he is stuffing down his throat?
Well, he can always count on his book sales.
As Barack Obama begins his second year in office, the public’s priorities for the president and Congress remain much as they were one year ago. Strengthening the nation’s economy and improving the job situation continue to top the list. And, in the wake of the failed Christmas Day terrorist attack on a Detroit-bound airliner, defending the country from future terrorist attacks also remains a top priority.
At the same time, the public has shifted the emphasis it assigns to two major policy issues: dealing with the nation’s energy problem and reducing the budget deficit.
About half (49%) say that dealing with the nation’s energy problem should be a top priority, down from 60% a year ago.
At the same time, there has been a modest rise in the percentage saying that reducing the budget deficit should be a top priority, from 53% to 60%.
