The No. 1 concern among Americans: the price of gas
A new survey shows more Americans are worried about the price of gas than any other economic issue.

In second place: getting a good job or a raise. Paying for health care and health insurance came in third. And finally, about 20 percent said their biggest concern was paying the rent or the mortgage.
