What Do You Think?
By Emily Fotheringham
Although fairly young, this year has already been full of political positioning. Last month President Obama gave his yearly State of the Union address, which many saw as an opportunity for the president to make election year promises. The Republican Party has also had its share of face time, with the hopefuls debating all of the hot topics, in an effort to choose an electable nominee.
It is unavoidable that the big stories for the year will include every angle of the presidential election, so The Crossroads Journal decided to ask:
What do you think will be the biggest issue for voters during this election year?
“The economy. I think it will take a long time for people to feel comfortable, for citizens to feel better.”
Brooke Henderson,

“The recession or the budget being passed will be the big issue this year.”
Natalie Johnson,

“Probably the economic situation that we are in right now. Jobs, medical care, schools…”
Judie Dresden,

“Unemployment. Creating jobs and tax breaks for employers to get more jobs.”
Alisha Dawdy,
Eagle Mountain
“The direction our country is going in general. Hopefully people will vote to make a change.”
