Price of gasoline Terrorism Cost of health care Length of commitment of troops in Iraq Economy Illegal immigration view results comments

We haven't conducted a poll since the primary election. Some of these choices affect each other, but what do you consider to be the country's biggest concern today?

Do you consider these hardships to be temporary, or will they have a long-lasting effect on the country? If you chose the price of gasoline, what are you and your family doing in response? If you chose the economy, do you believe the Fed made the right decision last week in leaving short-term interest rates unchanged? What are your solutions to these issues?
