Gallup Shows How Much Americans Really Care About The "Situation With Russia"

As David Sirota noted, "Gallup recently did a poll of what Americans say is the most important problem facing the country. One finding: the percentage of Americans saying “Situation with Russia” is the most important problem is literally too small to represent with a number. "

But Russia?

That title is a lie. The question wasn't "Is Russia a Priority", the question is "Is Russia the Most Important Problem facing this Country".

There is a huge difference between the two, which shouldn't need to be explained.

Yup, as person above said, the OP is highly misleading here. This is not about what is "a" priority, but about which problem is "the most important problem". If I am asked what is the most important problem and I answered "X", that does not mean that "Y" is NOT a problem - just that in my opinion it is not "the most important problem".

Misleading tactics won't help.

You've posted several misleading polls recently, and were called out on it almost immediately. Maybe give it a rest

Bullshit! Nothing can ever be 0%. TF kind a bs article is this

That actually doesn't surprise me, it seems like a media driven storm in reality, I think most reasonable people see the reporting of this issue as form of propaganda

Priority literally means to consider before (prior) anything else, so the most important thing.

Priority = "something that is very important and must be dealt with before [prior] other things"

Well, that would only be true if you could have only one priority, which isn't the case, hence why the phrase "top priority" is valid English and not simply redundant and common idioms such as "get your priorities straight" exist. Or even more simply, the fact that you can make the word plural... Pretty much everything on that list would be considered a priority, simply not the top priority.

You can look to definitions such as "a preferential rating" or "Precedence, especially established by order of importance or urgency" to show how the word "priority" can be used alongside multiple items or a list of items.

So yes, that title is still a lie (or I guess in your case just very bad English).

'Top priority' is a tautology as 'top' and 'prior' mean the same thing in two different languages (before, first, foremost). The implication of second or lower priorities is faulty language, even if some people (mis)use it in casual conversation.

So, just checked the poll more closely.
"Immigration/illegal aliens" isn't the most important topic. That's a LIE.
It's consistently behind "dissatisfaction with government/poor leadership", almost always by a double digit margin.
Only this month it was ahead (by a whole 3%!), but this is still frankly inaccurate.

Furthermore, depending on how you were compiling data, "situation with Russia" might very well mean "international relationship", and you could easily count people worried.
Or "immigration" might very well account for people, say, appaled by the family separation policy recently enacted.

What is important to note ultimately is that this data serves as a basis for what people would consider to be the "most important problem", but tells us nothing about how they actually feel about it or what their politics are.
You are making wild assumptions based on your politics on what the data could mean; and you're doing a poor job of it too.
