The Economy, Or National Security???

What is the most top-of-mind issue in the current presidential election cycle? Is it the economy, or national security, or both or neither one?

In the days following the Republican National Convention (the convention from which McCain and Palin got quite a significant "bump" in the polling data), the top issue for voters regarding the next president seemed to be trustworthiness.

And on that issue, McCain seemed to have an edge over Obama.

But that was in September.

Then towards the end of September, President Bush spoke to the world and essentially said that, if the Congress didn't pass legislation to stabilize the financial markets, then the world would soon come to an end.

And panic ensued.

And the eyes of American voters were focused almost solely on the threat of economic collapse.

And Obama rose dramatically in the polls, while McCain shrunk.

Now, we've seen a few days in a row of, at least, a more stabilized Wall Street, and - - whether your saw it or not - - some positive economic news.

So what are Americans focused on now, as they get ready to vote (or are already voting) in the presidential race?
