5. Forced abortions and family planning
6. China out-performing the US in science and technology

8. Intellectual property rights
9. Political influence buying
10. Other or not sure....
Of those ten choices, 5 stood out as potential problem areas with each group feeling
one area as more problematic than others.
The fourth is
Environmental Degradation -
Nearly half of the Opinion leaders (49%) worry about this. Probably a bunch of treehugging democrats...uh, yep that is about half of America.
Business leaders followed at 34%
The Congressional Staff were next at 28%...the other 72% were looking for places to drill
and
the General public (19%) - thought, OMG, did Al Gore know about this before he made that movie?
