Illegal Immigration

There's lots of other things that follow that, but cracking down on illegal immigration will have a major positive impact on those issues as well.

^This

Another poster mentioned "education". The education of our kids will vastly improve once we start clamping down hard on illegal immigration. Too many school systems are being crushed by the weight of having to educate anchor babies who, despite having been born here, come to school not knowing a word of English. Even worse---the Spanish they do know is atrocious, many do not even know colors and can't tell red from blue. Teachers will tell you that when they come to school like that, they never fully catch up. As a result, many schools have to put far too many resources into dealing with this problem to the point where other kids suffer.

Sorry for missing immigration and Surpreme Court appointment, folks... But after reading the comments, I deduce that the votes for "Other" is a good indication of how many vote for immigration

In this order:

Jobs, terrorism, enforcing the law, illegal immigration, crime, fair trade, political corruption, energy independence

Some things overlap.

Economy, national security, border security, 2A and Supreme Court nominee. Not in any particular order.

Care almost nothing about social issues. Hierarchy of needs, and all that.

Ditto this. Immigration...and deport the Syrian refugees as well.

Better to have a candidate that no one has any idea what kind of justice he'd nominate than a candidate who is guaranteed to nominate a left winger.

Exactly! This was not even mentioned in the poll so this poll is totally useless and irrelevant. It's the #1 reason most Trump voters are for Trump. Obviously, not much thought was given when writing this poll and obviously the person writing it doesn't have a clue about the issues.
