Monmouth University conducted another political poll of U.S respondents [SEE Survey HERE]. In addition to the plummeting approval of Joe Biden, the worst yet approval at 36% according to the survey, the respondents were asked to list their top concerns (Question #7).
The responses were recorded but did not come from a list presented by Monmouth. They just compiled the results. As stated, “what is the biggest concern facing your family right now?” The results show the top priorities of Americans and the disconnect between the priorities of congress and the American people are stark.
Nowhere on the expressed concerns did anyone identify supporting Ukraine or the Russia -v- Ukraine conflict, as a priority; yet, Ukraine has taken up almost all of the legislative effort from congress. The total taxpayer-funded congressional spending is nearing $100 billion. Additionally absent from the concerns of the American people, is any mention of the January 6th committee; again, another time wasted political exercise by a congress detached from the priorities of the electorate.
The top priorities are what we would expect to see, economic issues. Inflation, Gas Prices, the Economy and the ability to pay everyday bills (groceries) are the priorities of the American people. All of these issues are directly caused by Joe Biden and the policy of his administration. Climate change, the #1 focus of the administration, is not even in the top ten. We are in an abusive relationship with our own government.
My biggest priority isn’t on the list: the legitimacy of our government. If our elections were secure, and if we somehow addressed corruption in our government, a lot of the things on this list would go away.
As it stands, we have no confidence that government at all levels is acting on behalf of the citizenry, or even in accordance with the Constitution.
Back to the survey above: I find it mostly accurate. How can zero % be accurate on “immigration”. Of course, I put “immigration” in separate box v illegals. Very worrisome. And crime is extremely high on the minds of people in Texas, and Arkansas. I worry about Arizona too. Crime is a problem.
Thank you for the survey. I am in that top group of concerned citizens!
One would need to see how the question on ‘Immigration’ was constructed to comprehend the “0%” concern, which is BS of course.
If you read carefully you will understand that the questioners did not suggest topics. The people being asked said what their number one concern was. And that was recorded. With the economy tanking, immigration was the secondary concern for most, especially since Latinos are showing that they haven’t been as thoroughly brainwashed as everybody thought.
@GMBurns
Nailed it. The blunt truth is that native born American Leftists like Biden are the greatest threat to American security and prosperity.
‘covid’ at 1% is in the rounding error category.
All the public health and medical con artists who participated in this lie and hoax should be arrested tried and all medical licenses yanked forever.
What a scam the whole thing was, all to help get Trump removed from office.
I’ve had ‘covid’, it’s a flu virus. Stay home rest, drink fluids, etc
One of the WORST things about Covid was at the beginning when they REFUSED to prescribe therapeutics! That alone easily killed thousands. Evil, evil, evil.
The ‘experts’ could be doing all kinds of things to
help boost immunity and improve health, including advice on diet and exercise and vitamins and so forth …. But nah.
I maintain they like a sickly sad, slovenly population that’s in pain and on the couch, just able enough to work and pay taxes.
You left out two words “and hung.” Or is it “hanged?”
I’ve always understood it to be ‘hanged’ when referencing the past tense of execution.
Correct. Laundry is hung out to dry. People are hanged.
Men are “hung” but criminals are “hanged.”
Fixed it.
Buck you nailed it. Covid was a fraud from the gitgo. There never was and still is not a Covid Virus. There may have been some germ released from Wuhan or elsewhere that had the lethality of the common cold and they named it Covid-19 but there is no record of any Covid-19 virus having been isolated. NEVER. The test also never worked either. Covid was the flu. In fact Dr. Stefano Scoglio, Ph.D., B.Sc., 2018 Candidate Nobel Prize in Medicine wrote an article named The Invented Pandemic and Non Validity of the Covid-19 Test that put the kibosh to the whole scam. Everyone involved in this fraud should be tried for treason and if convicted should suffer the same fate as Benito Mussolini.
Methinks the respondents to this so-called poll are a group of paid telephone responders residing in SOHO.
I agree————-FRAUD must be accounted for—————MAGA!!!!!!
I am now 89————I hate to leave this life——–without “AN ACCOUNTING FOR NOV 3 2020 “
Dude was a failure before he was president, it’s why he was chosen.
So Obama could have his 3rd term. Obama’s group dominates the government and is busy making sure they NEVER lose power.
“We are in an abusive relationship with our own government.”
Sundance, it is a DEADLY relationship. Especially when it involves all the poisons of Big Pharma as well as our food supply! I believe this government truly wants to kill us and we know all the Schwab Nazis do.
You can’t believe the number of people I talk to who say the medical community and Big Pharma have trashed their reputations for the rest of their lifetime-that now refuse to get ANY vaccines whatsoever-flu, shingles, pneumonia etc. Even parents of small children are done. It will take a generation if not longer for these two industries to rehabilitate themselves to the point of earning ANY trust from a huge number of the population.
Amen!
i now avoid hospitals and md offices like the plague. i will not go near those places unless its a life threatening emergency or I have broken a bone.
What frauds and imposters the entire field (with exceptions of course, we all know a good one or two) has turned out to be.
It goes the same for a lot of fields and sectors, they are cheap shills for government money and all of their proclaimed values and tenets and principles and supposedly objective work and analysis …. all a complete lie.
harumph!
Amen.
It will take the deaths and suffering of them and their children and grandchildren from the diseases that they’ll be refusing vaccinations for. Maybe then, their eyes and minds will be open to the ‘new reality’ they’ve created for us all.
Something I’ve noticed recently, though, is that they aren’t trying to ‘save’ the senior citizens from themselves anymore. My mom has 4 crushed discs in her back from osteoarthritis, which has made walking painful and difficult. For several years they gave her opiods for the pain so she could keep moving, then unannounced in 2018 there was a ‘national law’ preventing doctors from prescribing anything harder than tylenol to anyone over 60, and seniors were suffering all across the nation . I got mom into a couple of support groups while we fought this, and to make a long story short, that law seems to have magically disappeared with COVID’s appearance, because all of a sudden seniors are once again allowed to medicate their pain to their heart’s desires. ( Obviously, at least to me, if the jab doesn’t get them, TPTB are willing to let our elderly ‘accidentally’ take themselves out any way possible. And THAT one attitude is the thing that set me off righteously!)
Funny how race is nowhere on the list either. Like usual.
Time for MAGA Slate 535. Replace them all!
Interestingly, the administration has told us to suck it on the top 4 issues. The real questions are, will the red wave do anything to stop this progressive march to our end? Will the Senate continue as a rubber stamp for progressive ideology? Will McConnell hold onto his majority seat? Was the article about him being responsible for the political move to keep a liberal off the bench tacit approval of his tenure? Will the voters decimate the ranks of the RINO? Will the RINO finally get the freaking message? How long will this level of conservative involvement really last?
Liberalism can only grow in the minds of people with too much free time.
Stop the government handouts, foreign aide, and watch the population return to where it is in natural balance.
Paying the least capable among us to breed is not a winning formula.
Encouraging poor decisions is a suicide mission.
Soft on crime is hard on non criminals.
People who have determined our misery is the way to accomplish their megalomaniacal dreams, cannot be running our government. Every single one of them has violated their oath of office.
While it is significant that those issues appear nowhere on the list, I’d be curious if they did a “Top 5 Concerns” compilation. Inflation and gas prices swallow up a lot of immediate concerns, but I’d like to know what comes next for most people.
I am not sure why illegal immigration doesn’t factor in (0% in poll) when all of the other top concerns will be made much worse by it.
The Desperate, the immoral, the criminal, the foreign who have no stake in keeping our laws and liberties, or care about breaking the law should be a prime reason for concern. They will be enlisted for illegal voting activities by the Leftist NGO’s to help fraud the elections. We will see an increase of the protestors and the violence. What kind of creatures do you think are being assisted in order to get them here inside the US borders. Why aren’t we seeing that as one of the top concerns??
Our government is not OUR GOVERNMENT is right. And these new people are NOT Americans. We haven’t begun to feel the effects of these latest 2,000,000 aliens millions more coming in YET.
and millions more coming in Yet./correction
@Barb
Illegal immigration is a huge problem because our POTUS and most lawmakers (Democrat and GOP) made it so.
Yes its true — but the media does not explain these things to the sheeple, and most are entirely incapable of having any kind of an original thought or any skepticism or natural curiosity.
Most are of the “I heard the news say….” or “I didn’t hear anything about that on the news….” dumb dumb mindset
“We haven’t begun to feel the effects of these latest 2,000,000 aliens millions more coming in YET.”
November, 2022, may provide the answer to that…
All of these issues mean nothing to people who vote for democrats. The heads of the Democratic know that; they will still secure both chambers because Rhino Republicans prefer Democrats in charge of the country than people who support President Trump.
This why Trump is still not in the office of the President. The steak was not only done by democrats; but also by Republicans as well.
Was it FOX News who led the charge on elections’ night?
Embrace yourselves to see the same thing after November 8th, 2022.
HOPEFULLY THIS WILL NOT BE THE CASE.
Are we really going to get to November before things go the way of Sri Lanka? It doesn’t seem that we will, at least to me. Things are speeding up really fast here, and people are getting pretty upset. I hope that I’m wrong, Please, Dear Lord, let me be wrong! (But I don’t think I am). I’m ready, at least as much as a grey-haired nana can be, but it doesn’t mean I’m not frightened. I’ve never killed anyone; Heck, I was a nurse! But I won’t let anyone hurt me or mine, and have resolved to do whatever becomes necessary to keep them safe and free. Lord, please be with me and guide me to make the decisions that you expect of me, use me as you see fit, and if it be Your will, protect those I love from the evil coming our way.
When has Congress ever been in alignment with the average American in the past 100 years?
The distraction of social political democracy for the purposes of political pandering is about the only actual concern of either side.
Who needs priorities or principles when you have lofty moral and social issues to exploit!!!
Biden et al cannot answer why US housing went up 20% last year. Because we know it wasn’t Russia, Russia,Russia. Curiously, no one puts this question out there?
We have an Administration which cannot focus on the concerns of the people.
And the richest, most powerful country in the world, blames Russia for this? Really?
We are in a currency war and all that goes along with it.
Except of course we can’t say US dollar reserve system is being subverted and Russia is leading the way.
if your measure is US people, US is richest. but US gov. is insolvent due to deficit funding of US budget for many, many years
its not Joe’s fault … it’s RUSSIA’S fault!!! And the greedy gas station owners. (sic)
BTW … what happened to our gas tax holiday? That seems to have gone bye-bye in a hurry
I’ve seen this before…but since the “government” can print whatever mass of money they wish, why pay *any* tax to begin with?
For me, the most disappointing number in the survey was the number of people concerned about immigration – zero. This just proves how uneducated the public is about the damage millions and millions of foreigners can do to our country. We will never be the same country we were before. Soon, we the people will be the foreigners in our own country.
The survey asked what is the biggest concern facing your family right now. Since a choice of responses was not given, unless one’s family is in a border town, the concern regarding illegal immigration is less likely to pop into one’s mind, even though that may be a concern.
More immediate concerns would come to mind, like what you paid at the pump or grocery store this morning.
Our children and grandchildren already are.
Perhaps if the category read: “illegal immigration”?
@Joan
To be fair, illegal immigration wouldn’t be a problem if Democrats and GOP enforced our immigration laws.
That’s why I’m more irate with our native born POTUS (Biden), governors, mayors, and lawmakers than I am with illegal aliens.
The doubling down on wrong policies is an indication of their confidence in being able to steal more elections.
Does that prove that MAGA people did not participate in the poll?
“Dear America, The government shut down your job, destroyed the value of your money, made you wear a useless mask, stopped any alternative treatments of COVID, and told you to take the ‘vaccine’ or be fired. And you didn’t get mad until gas prices got high. You’re the problem.” —Jesse Kelly
I’m not represented on this list either. Deadly vaccines that are taken, recommended and forced without “Informed Consent” are a priority. These are now being injected into children, pregnant women and babies! It’s a crime against humanity. Get it?
But $5 a gallon gasoline is more important!!
There was the bizarre push to vaccinate pregnant women even when early research had shown the spike accumulated in the ovaries, along with other serious concerns. Now it appears that birth rates are dropping, even when you would expect numbers to go up after all the lockdowns.
Here’s something that most people don’t know. When a woman carries a female baby, all of the baby’s eggs for her children are fully formed while in the womb.
An entirely safe, effective, subsidized, indemnified and mandated crime against humanity.
“SAFE & EFFECTIVE”
The biggest lie every perpetrated on the human race.
Border Crisis and Enemy Invasion via Illegal Immigration would be way up the list among the people I know and speak with!
How is immigration so low? Over 100,000 American citizens died as a direct result of the invasion across our Southern border and nobody cares. That disgusts me.
Also, crime is too low on this ranking.
Climate change and environment should be separate categories. Putting them together just conflates things. A person can see that climate change is a hoax while still thinking that pollution could be handled better.
^^^ 100% ^^^
@Bernadette
Well said. Conservatives should be taking the lead on conservation instead of letting the Left hijacking this noble cause to advance their sinister agenda.
The American people are being governed against their will.
My real concern is heating oil prices. A lot of people are in for a real shock.
Tell me!! My electrical bill is usually $85/month in summer, but last week I got my bill for June, when I had barely run the air yet, and it was $344!!! I don’t even know where I’m going to come up with that unplanned jump in billing!Yard sale next weekend, I guess, but August is beginning to look VERY scary now
We can spend $100B on Ukraine but can’t spend a few billion dollars to secure the southern border, increase oil and gas production in the US, or get crime under control?
You know as well as I do that it’s not about whether they can do those things or not. The fact is that they flat out refuse to do those things because they worship climate change and abortion. Not only do they not want to make our lives better, they don’t want us to procreate either. We’re all expendable to them. And that goes for you DNC voters who I know are sliming around in here. You’re all idiots wrapped inside of morons, if you actually believe the DNC cares about you and your family. They will sacrifice you in a nanosecond if it helps them get richer and more powerful. You’re all damn fools for voting Democrat.
It is amazing how billions can be pissed away , correction trillions but the American elitist controlled government cannot fully fund and secure Social Security & Medicare . Cannot restore and fully support bankrupted retirement plans as elite connected individuals walk away with millions . Cannot protect and defend the borders .
There is nothing the US government with congressional blessings touches that does not become FUBAR !
It has to be deliberate tyrannical treason in every office & agency of government where total failure is rewarded
“supporting Ukraine or the Russia -v- Ukraine conflict”
Those don’t concern me but sending boatloads of taxpayer dollars to Ukraine does.
Hard to tell where Ukraine and Immigration are covered when we start with table number 7.
Climate change never making the top ten is an understatement. It has never exceeded 3% of responses and tends to hover around 1%. About the same supporting the Ukraine war which falls under other at 5% which historically hovers around 5%. One wonders what other things fall under other. Interesting how crazy health care costs continued to concern during the Trump years due to Obummer care but, that dropped off the cliff when Mar 2020 hit and Covid fear porn took center stage eclipsing all others. That has also dropped off the cliff as the new demon of inflation takes over at 48% combining the two categories of general inflation and gas prices which it is interesting is even separate. Amazing there is little concern about unemployment or job security. I guess all who want to work actually do. Unsurprising many would choose to retire as my own siblings have in the past year. I just got a new job I love. The only bright spot in that poll result chart is the fact that the don’t know/no answer hit a new low.
Doesn’t look like they put election fraud on the list, but maybe that would confuse people since it’s the cause of many of the other issues.
monmouth university polls are run by a bunch of lifetime hack democrats.
I wouldn’t was my time and breathe on their polls.
