Gallup polled the usual question: "What do you think is the most important problem facing American today?"
Overwhelmingly, Americans said the economy and jobs. 58 percent, in fact.
And the federal budget deficit? Seven percent.
That's right. 58 percent versus 7 percent.
But, of course, the old media, the Republicans and the conservadems will still screech about how the American people want the president to cut spending, reduce the deficit and cut taxes for the wealthiest two percent instead of, you know, creating jobs and stimulating the economy.
