As for the debt issue, 80% of voters want it to be among the top three priorities for the President and Congress. This includes 71% of Democrats, 78% of independents, and 92% of Republicans.
The survey, conducted by the Foundation, polled 1,013 registered voters in the US between August 21st and August 23rd. The margin of error for this poll is plus/minus 3.1%.
