It's Not The Economy On Voters' Minds Foreign policy and national defense have overtaken domestic economic concerns among U.S. citizens, the Washington Times reported. A survey published by the Pew Research Center found for the first time since 1972 that 41 percent of those polled believe war/foreign policy/terrorism is the most important problem facing the nation, with 26 percent choosing the economy. Story Continues Below "The debate about whether it is better to be loved or feared is shaping up as a major issue," Lee Feinstein, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, told the Wall Street Journal. Kevin Madden, a spokesman for President Bush's campaign, was not surprised by the poll's finding that foreign policy and security surpassed the economy as top concern. "It's a reflection of the world we live in," he said. Chad Clanton, spokesman for Sen. John Kerry's campaign, said the poll showed people "are obviously very concerned with the failures of George Bush's go-it-alone" foreign policy. The poll was conducted by phone July 8-18 among 2,009 Americans. Smaller samplings followed in early August. The margin of error was 2.5 percentage points.
