Rasmussen looks at the effects of the Georgian conflict…

Despite the Russian invasion of Georgia, daily tracking data shows no shift in voter priorities for Election 2008. Forty-one percent (41%) say economic issues are most important while just 22% name national security issues as the top priority.

As the saying goes, “It’s the economy, stupid.”
