An AARP survey of its Florida members finds that most believe Iraq is the top issue in the upcoming election, and aren’t happy with the direction the nation is heading.

The poll was part of an AARP survey of 5,000 of its members in five political battleground states.

The 1,0004 respondents in Florida, half Democrats and half Republicans, named Iraq as the top issue facing the country—55 percent of Democrats and 31 percent of Republicans said it it was the top issue.

Asked whether the country is heading in the right direction or the wrong track, a large majority of Democrats, 86 percent, and a plurality of Repubicans, 44 percent, said it’s on the wrong track.
