The directly fetched canonical report identifies Pew Research Center as the survey publisher; registry identity review remains pending.
Open source receipt - originating speaker
A directly fetched August 11 post says U.S. voters rank climate 28th of 30 problems, but it supplies no poll name or linked methodology and does not use the synthesized headline.
Direct X extraction established the handle, timestamp, and wording; exact-headline and semantic X searches did not establish the post as the headline origin.
Open source receipt - reporter publication
Pew Research Center published the July 23 midterm survey report with four named research authors.
The directly fetched report exposes its title, date, publisher, authors, questionnaire links, topline links, and methodology.
Open source receipt - atomic claim
In Pew's July 6-12 survey, 29% of registered voters named an economic issue in an open-ended question about what congressional candidates should discuss; the displayed chart includes only categories at 4% or more and does not list climate as one of them.
The directly fetched report supplies the field dates, registered-voter basis, exact chart question, 29% economy figure, displayed categories, and disclosure that only responses at or above 4% are shown.
Open source receipt - primary source evidence
Pew's directly fetched report provides a national registered-voter priority question, field dates, methodology, chart data, and author bylines.
The retained hash covers the canonical URL, report title, field dates, population, displayed 29% economy result, and chart threshold.
Open source receipt - response correction
The located X post's 28-of-30 claim is unsourced; the retained Pew survey independently shows climate below its 4% display threshold but does not establish a 28th-place rank.
The post and Pew report were directly fetched, and their measures cannot safely be treated as the same poll or ranking.
Open source receipt - resolution evidence status
Current evidence supports a bounded low-priority observation in one poll, but the headline's underlying poll, exact ranking, and unique X origin remain unidentified.
Exact and semantic X searches, web searches, direct source fetches, and registered-outlet searches did not locate the headline's named poll or methodology.
