Americans named government as the top problem facing the country in 2015, choosing that issue over the economy, unemployment, immigration, and other issues, according to survey results released Monday.
An average of 16 percent of Americans in 2015 said some aspect of government — including President Obama, Congress or political conflict — was the country’s top problem, according to Gallup.
It’s the second straight year that Americans picked government as the top problem, after the economy was No. 1 for six straight years and Iraq was No. 1 for four straight years before that.
In 2015, the economy was second at 13 percent, followed by unemployment and immigration at 8 percent apiece.
