According to a recent Gallup poll, Americans say that government is their No. 1 problem, beating out inflation for the top spot.

In response to the question: “what do you think is the most important problem facing the country today?” 21 percent of Americans answered “Government,” up from 15 percent last year. According to Gallup’s January 2023 poll, other top concerns for Americans are, in order, immigration, the economy in general, unifying the country, race relations, poverty, crime, and family decline.
