From Deseret News archives:
War should be focus for Bush, Utahns say
Sixty-three percent of 416 residents in the statewide poll ranked the war in Iraq as a "very high priority," pushing it ahead of four other issues, including the economy, Social Security, health care and immigration reform.
The poll, which has a margin of error of 5 percent, asked respondents to rank the five issues on a 1-5 scale, with 1 meaning a very low priority and 5 being a very high priority for Bush to pursue.
While Social Security had the lowest percentage of respondents ranking it as very high priority 35 percent it squeezed past immigration reform in overall importance. Immigration reform's overall ranking dipped slightly because of the higher number of respondents 7 percent who ranked it as a very low priority.
Economy and health-care reform ranked slightly higher on the priority list, with 40 percent of respondents listing health care as a very high priority and 37 percent ranking the economy very high.
Only 4 percent of respondents gave the war in Iraq a very low priority.
