AMERICA POINTS FINGER AT 'MOST IMPORTANT PROBLEM'
No longer economy, citizens say their biggest worry is …
U.S. voters now have a bigger worry than the economy for the first time in nearly eight years: Politicians.
In fact, it’s the first time leaders in Washington have ever taken the top spot, according to a survey released Friday from Gallup.
In 2014, Americans were also more worried about the government, Congress and politicians than unemployment or health care.
Eighteen percent said the “most important problem” in the United States in 2014 was “Government/Congress/Politicians.”
The economy was second on the list, at 17 percent, while unemployment and jobs were cited as the most important issue by 15 percent of Americans.
Health care and immigration were among the top five concerns, at 10 and eight percent, respectively.
The survey of 12,000 adults was taken throughout 2014 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 1 percentage point.
The following chart lists the results of Gallup’s survey:
The Gallup results come on the heels of another poll that shows a full 60 percent of Republican voters want Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, removed from his position as House speaker.
Boehner has lost the confidence of his own party voters, according to the telephone survey conducted Dec. 26-30 by pollster Pat Caddell on behalf of People’s Poll.
The national poll reveals that only 25 percent of GOP voters would vote to keep Boehner.
The official speaker’s election is scheduled for Jan. 6.
Asked if they believed Boehner has been ineffective at opposing Obama’s agenda, a full 64 percent of voters agreed.
“[N]o respected party leader has polled this low among his own party’s voters unless he was embroiled in a major personal scandal,” wrote the Conservative Review.
“With 60% of Republican voters desiring a more conservative Speaker, what does this mean for John Boehner next Tuesday – when members of the House will cast votes for the next Speaker? And how can Boehner continue to lead the opposition to President Obama when he has lost the confidence of his own party?”
The DUMP BOEHNER campaign already has lined up more than half-a-million letters that are scheduled for delivery to GOP members of the House as soon as members convene next week.

When the Electorate elects people of Integrity it will have a Government of Integrity. The corrupt Government has already SPENT the Nation into Bankruptcy, catering to a CORRUPT Electorate.
