This week on What Are We Thinking:
- The official unemployment rate remains near 10% . Any sign Americans are becoming more hopeful about employment and jobs?
- Gallup updates Americans’ views of crime every October… What do Americans worry most about when it comes to crime?
- Californian are again talking about legalizing marijuana and taxing it to help state revenue coffers. Some say the issue could appear on ballots as soon as next year. Where do Americans stand on legalizing pot?
