Gallup has released its regular poll of the most important issues facing Americans. Can you spot what isn’t there?

This actually provides a great metric for the success of the Alliance for Climate Protection’s consciousness-raising campaign. If global warming tops the list after the campaign, it will be $100 million well spent for the alarmist cause. If it hits 10 percent and/or beats “fuel/oil prices,” it will have been a qualified success. If it’s still around 1 percent, hmmm.

Me, I’m willing to bet a tenner that the environment category won’t get higher than the margin of error above the 5 percent it recorded in February last year.
