While John McCain has been dubbed the ‘comeback kid’ since his win in New Hampshire, over 10,000 Connect2Elect users have also pushed him out in front – ahead of Rudy Giuliani, the candidate perceived as being ‘most capable of keeping the US safe’ on Connect2Elect just two weeks ago.
These polls are based solely on perceptions, and what Neighborhood America's Connect2Elect results offer exclusively is the ability to move beyond perceptions and instead quantify the issues that are most important to the American public.
So when you ask a typical voter what's important to them, what do they say? And is anyone really listening?
We are. And we've been astounded by the results. While headlines proclaim Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John McCain, Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney as the front-runners, not a single candidate aligns with all of the issues, values and beliefs that collectively comprise the ‘top ten’ responses for the 10,000 Connect2Elect community members.
From a cumulative list of 120 choices, the top five results from each category, presented in order of importance to voters, are listed below. While energy concerns and the need to become less dependent upon foreign oil takes the number one spot in each category, the remaining results are a mix of what are typically considered to be traditional democratic and republican viewpoints. If you find these results enlightening (click on the image to view full results), be sure to keep checking back...we'll be publishing more data as the race goes on!
