Gallup poll: Healthcare is Americans' greatest worry

Americans worry more about healthcare than any other issue, according to a new Gallup survey.

The poll was conducted March 1 to March 8 among 1,041 adults via phone. All 50 states and the District of Columbia were represented. It asked respondents to rate how much they worry about various policy topics as either "a great deal," "a fair amount" or "only a little/not at all."

The survey found 55 percent of respondents worried a great amount about "the availability and affordability of healthcare," while 23 percent worried about it a fair amount and another 23 percent only worried about it a little, if at all.

Crime and violence, federal spending and the availability of guns each concerned 51 percent of Americans a great deal.
