Only 1 percent of voters think that wokeness and transgender issues are the country’s top problem, according to an April Fox News poll — essentially a repudiation of the governor’s entire brand. Race issues and vaccines are also low on the list."

It's sad that, Economy and Jobs is 26% of the polling, yet, Political leadership and corruption are at a lowly 6%. Do people not get it yet? HELLO! Fix the leadership and corruption and guess what?!?!?!?

You might JUST not to have worry so much about everything else on this list. Holy [BLEEP]....

I have my pet issue too.
If we can't figure out how to solve "Political division / Political extremism /Preservation of democracy,"
then our opinions on all the other issues will never matter again.
In ordinary circumstances it would be a good thing if few were worried about it.  But these are not ordinary circumstances anymore.
