The Gallup Poll has released a fresh survey on issues that are biting at the American public—and the war in Iraq is at the top of the list. The new survey, released April 25, shows that 29 percent of Americans believe the war in Iraq should be the top priority for the President and Congress. The next highest priority was the issue of immigration, at 20 percent. Believe it or not, fuel prices only rated 13 percent.
