The economy edged out the War in Iraq as our readers' top choice for their most important issue. A full third of those who voted picked the economy closely followed by 29.7% who chose the War. Falling considerably back with 12.2% was healthcare which was bunched with the 10.8% of the voters who chose the environment as the country's most pressing problem. Only 5.4% chose the supposed hot topic of immigration as their most important issue. Given these statistics, which are borne out in similar polls across America, if we can convince voters how closely a healthy economy is tied to ending the war, then we will have a powerful edge going into the November elections.
