GALLUP SURVEY BRINGS NO SMILES TO DEMS – AT 10:01 P.M. ET:  A new Gallup poll, measuring attitudes toward issues, cannot possibly bring happiness to the president or his party.

PRINCETON, NJ -- Terrorism and federal government debt tie as the most worrisome issues to Americans when they consider threats to the future wellbeing of the U.S. Four in 10 Americans call each an "extremely serious" threat, with healthcare costs ranking a close third.

And those issues are not being handled well by this White House.  Ditto for the two issues that follow:  employment and illegal immigration. 

It is striking to see the way terrorism remains at the top of the list.  It shows, once again, the wisdom of the American people, who understand that the threat of terrorism can only grow in the face of this administration's weakness, and the increasing technological expertise of terror groups and nations, like Iran, who support them.

This administration deserves to have its clock cleaned.  We hope that will happen in November, if Republicans can run a halfway-decent campaign.
