No big surprise.  (Ditto Ohio... economy is #1) 

In Florida, the most important issues are: Economy 71%, Iraq 41%, Health Care 38%, Terrorism 19%, Illegal Immigration 19%, Other 5%

But look at the sub-questions for Florida (I did not look at Ohio just now).

Losing a job.  26%.  Astounding.  I would not have guessed that high.

The trade reform movement should really consider that number, along with the others.  Since the primary job growth is government and health care jobs.  Then low paying service jobs.
