Straight Talk From Americans - 2000 Concerns about sprawl and growth are now edging out more traditional issues, such as crime, according to a series of five new polls commissioned by the Pew Center. Dissatisfaction with the quality of education and concerns about morality surface throughout the nation. Moveover, fault lines - based on race, class, age and gender - reveal stark differences in perception about key issues and institutions. For instance, minorities view their local institutions starkly differently than white Americans. The surveys are intended to provide roadmaps for journalists reporting on citizens' issues.
