In light of the results of the Super Tuesday primaries, I came across this item from the Pew Research Center that caught my eye -- in terms of policy priorities for the new administration, Democrats and Republicans apparently have significant differences in which issues they consider most and least important:

This particular Pew article highlights the finding that among Republicans, addressing global warming is the least important priority. How nice.

I would also add that the priorities of self-identified Independents seem to match those of Democrats more so than those of Republicans.

Just some food for thought. What do you think -- are you surprised by these findings?
