A new Gallup poll released Wednesday shows that Americans think the most important problem facing the United States is its own government.

Twenty-one percent of those polled said "dissatisfaction with government/Congress/politicians; poor leadership/corruption/abuse of power" is the most important problem in the United States today.

"Economy in general" closely followed the majority with 18 percent. "Unemployment/jobs" and "poor healthcare/hospitals; high cost of healthcare" each received 16 percent.
