What will Barack Obama’s second-term agenda push hardest? The Associated Press says climate change will be at the top of the priority list, even though it doesn’t even appear on the list of voter concerns:

President Barack Obama’s second-term energy agenda is taking shape and, despite the departure of key Cabinet officials, it looks a lot like the first: more reliance on renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, and expanded production of oil and natural gas. Obama also is promising to address climate change, an issue he has acknowledged was sometimes overlooked during his first term.

“The president has been clear that tackling climate change and enhancing energy security will be among his top priorities in his second term,” said Clark Stevens, a White House spokesman.

How important is this for the American people? It’s so important that it doesn’t even appear on Gallup’s survey from earlier this week. Gallup asked the open-ended question about the priorities of general-population American adults, and the top five issues were the economy, the federal deficit, dissatisfaction with government, unemployment, and lack of money. Not one response related to the environment ended up on the list. Clearly, the electorate’s priorities are not terribly in sync with those of the White House. (Gun control, their other major push, only got mentioned by four percent, so this isn’t exactly news, I grant you.)
