Gallup: Immigration Less Concerning to Americans Than Our Government

Check out this data from the most recent Gallup poll: some 16% of Americans cite immigration as the nation’s top problem. That’s down from 21% just last month.

A bigger problem, according to those surveyed, is the federal government itself. Nineteen percent said government is our nation’s top problem. As bad as that sounds, it’s apparently close to average for the year (22%) and shy of the all-time high of 33% which was hit during the October 2013 governmental shutdown.

That said, last month, immigration unseated the government as a top problem. Now it’s back to second place. Both are far ahead of the next round contenders (unifying the country: 8% and race relations: 7%).
