For this analysis, we surveyed 5,128 U.S. adults in January 2022. Everyone who took part in this survey is a member of the Center\u2019s American Trends Panel (ATP), an online survey panel that is recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses. This way nearly all U.S. adults have a chance of selection. The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity, partisan affiliation, education and other categories. <a

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/topic\/coronavirus-disease-covid-19\/\">coronavirus pandemic<\/a> enters its third year, more Americans view strengthening the U.S. economy as a top policy priority than say the same about dealing with COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This marks <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2021\/01\/28\/economy-and-covid-19-top-the-publics-policy-agenda-for-2021\/\">a shift from last year<\/a>, when the economy <em>and <\/em>the coronavirus both topped the public\u2019s policy agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At a time when Americans rate several issues as lower priorities than they did a year ago, the decline in the share citing the pandemic has been particularly steep: 60% now view dealing with the coronavirus as a top policy priority, down from 78% last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, 71% of U.S. adults rate strengthening the economy as a top policy priority, followed by reducing health care costs (61%), addressing the coronavirus (60%), improving education (58%) and securing Social Security (57%) \u2013 according to a Pew Research Center survey of 5,128 adults conducted Jan. 10-17, 2022, on the nationally representative <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/our-methods\/u-s-surveys\/the-american-trends-panel\/#:~:text=What%20is%20the%20American%20Trends%20Panel%20%28ATP%29%3F%20The,selected%20at%20random%20from%20across%20the%20entire%20U.S.\">American Trends Panel<\/a>. Smaller shares view seven of the 18 items included in the survey as top policy priorities than did so last year (four items increased).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The public\u2019s policy agenda reflects continued concerns over the economy. With inflation at a four-decade high, <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2022\/01\/25\/views-of-the-national-economy-assessments-of-prices-jobs-housing-and-the-stock-market\/\">large majorities of Americans say prices for food and consumer goods (89%),<\/a> gas prices (82%) and the cost of housing (79%) are worse than they were a year ago. Only 28% rate economic conditions as excellent or good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, fewer Americans cite strengthening the economy as a top priority than did so in 2021 (71% now vs. 80% then), and there has been a sizable decline in concern about jobs. Only about half of Americans view improving the job situation as a top priority (52%), compared with 67% last year. Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, there had been a long-term decline in the shares citing the economy and jobs as top policy priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As in the past, Republicans and Democrats differ on the importance of most policy priorities, but the partisan gaps have widened significantly for 11 of the 18 items included in the survey \u2013 including double-digit increases in partisan differences on dealing with immigration, improving the political system, improving the job situation and addressing issues within the criminal justice system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among those items that rank near the bottom on the 18-item priorities list today are addressing issues around race (37% top priority), strengthening the military (also 37%), dealing with global trade (35%) and dealing with drug addiction (31%). Notably, majorities rate all of these policy goals either as a \u201ctop priority\u201d for the president and Congress <em>or<\/em> as \u201can important but lower priority\u201d; for each, relatively small shares say they are \u201cnot too important\u201d or \u201cshould not be done.\u201d (For a closer look at the top policy priorities of partisan and demographic groups, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1EGAI3M0gPYZfc0ZClFfMmUWimnY2a_dLP1EcZ_g0sLs\/edit?usp=sharing\">detailed tables accompanying this report<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;changing-public-priorities-economy-coronavirus-jobs&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"changing-public-priorities-economy-coronavirus-jobs\">Changing public priorities: Economy, coronavirus, jobs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-58780\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2022\/02\/16\/publics-top-priority-for-2022-strengthening-the-nations-economy\/pp_2022-02-16_priorities_0-02-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f0f0f0\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f0f0f0;\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/02\/PP_2022.02.16_priorities_0-02.png\" alt=\"Compared with last year, fewer Americans view the economy, jobs and coronavirus as top policy priorities\" class=\"wp-image-58780 not-transparent\" width=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/02\/PP_2022.02.16_priorities_0-02.png 840w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/02\/PP_2022.02.16_priorities_0-02.png?resize=300,277 300w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/02\/PP_2022.02.16_priorities_0-02.png?resize=768,709 768w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/02\/PP_2022.02.16_priorities_0-02.png?resize=438,405 438w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/02\/PP_2022.02.16_priorities_0-02.png?resize=200,185 200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/02\/PP_2022.02.16_priorities_0-02.png?resize=260,240 260w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/02\/PP_2022.02.16_priorities_0-02.png?resize=310,286 310w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/02\/PP_2022.02.16_priorities_0-02.png?resize=420,388 420w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/02\/PP_2022.02.16_priorities_0-02.png?resize=640,591 640w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/02\/PP_2022.02.16_priorities_0-02.png?resize=740,684 740w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/02\/PP_2022.02.16_priorities_0-02.png?resize=160,148 160w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/02\/PP_2022.02.16_priorities_0-02.png?resize=320,296 320w\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the economy continues to lead the public\u2019s list of priorities, there has been a decline in the share of Americans, especially Democrats, who view it as a top policy priority. The share of Democrats and independents who lean toward the Democratic Party who say strengthening the economy should be a top priority has fallen from 75% a year ago to 63% today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By contrast, there has been almost no change in views among Republicans and GOP leaners (85% top priority then, 82% today).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Democrats also are less likely to rate improving the job situation as a top priority than they did last January, before President Joe Biden took office.

The decline has been more modest among Republicans (from 63% to 55%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dealing with the coronavirus outbreak is viewed as a less important priority than last year.

Among Republicans, who were far less likely than Democrats to rate this as a priority, there has been a 10 percentage point decline in the share rating it as a top priority (24% to 14%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dealing with the problems of poor people has declined as a policy priority as well. Both Republicans (25% now vs. 35% in 2021) and Democrats (58% now vs. 68% then) are now less likely to see dealing with the problems low-income families face as a top priority \u2013 though Democrats continue to prioritize this policy area far more than Republicans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There also has been a decline in the share of the public saying that improving the political system should be a top policy priority, largely driven by Republicans.
