      <![CDATA[Part of the problem is you're mixing three populations.<br />
<br />
One: people in rural areas who mistakenly think they're subsidizing everyone else and who think roads are free and so is school.<br />
<br />
Two: people in suburban areas who mistakenly think they're subsidizing everyone else and who think roads should be free but that school isn't so they put their kids in private school.<br />
<br />
Three: people in urban areas who are subsidizing everyone else but are too polite to say so and mistakenly think everyone else respects them and will pay their fair share.

      <![CDATA[Add Economy to Budget Spending and you get an incredible two-thirds of the public mostly concerned with purely financial issues.   This aligns with the consistent public vote for limiting tax increases in Washington State.<br />
<br />
The only "social" issue that has consistent mind share is education.<br />
<br />
The one anomaly you highlight, 33%, Transportation, in 2008, might have been cumulative dissatisfaction with approaches to mass transit (?).  Perhaps a criticism of the previous administration's approach favoring BRT over rail (?)<br />
