Question: Which issue is most important to you? (n=991 from 4th-5th February, 2008)
Issues (in order of responses, most to least): the economy, the war in iraq, immigration, health care, terrorism, social security, the environment and global warming, education, and gay rights.

There were some interesting age differences in the importance of issues.

Four most important issues to voters by age group.

Remaining issues that are important to voters by age group.

Younger people cared more about the environment and gay rights. Older people care more about terrorism and immigration. There were also obvious age differences: younger people cared more about education; older people cared more about social security.

Social security is to education what terrorism is the environment.
