Finding the issue that is most important to the most number of Americans is fine. Not overly interesting, but it's Gallup and they need something to poll, so whatever. What's stupid is jumping from "this is X's number one issue" to "this is the only issue X cares about."
"Would you rather win the lottery, or have sex?"
"100% of Americans don't care about sex!"
