About half of U.S. adults named immigration and border topics in an open-ended question that asked respondents to share up to five issues they want the government to work on this year .

That's up from about one-third who mentioned the topic as a government priority in an AP-NORC poll conducted the previous year .

About 7 in 10 Republicans say immigration or a US.-Mexico border wall should be a top focus, up from 45% just two years ago .

Most Democrats , meanwhile, are focused on the economy, but they don't have a clear second priority.

Only about one-third of adults under 30 said immigration should be a focus, compared with about 6 in 10 adults 60 or older .

Older Americans are also broadly focused on the economy, but their priorities are a little different.

Very few Americans under 30 mentioned Social Security as a concern.
