Thank You for a Great 2010

Thank you to the more than 1.4 million readers, on average, who visited our site each month in 2010. You helped us to achieve 24% growth from 2009 at a time when many news sites are seeing traffic decline.

We're thrilled to provide a unique, empirical take on what's happening in the world, whether it is the healthcare debate that brought so many of you to our site last year, our timely economic metrics that provide the most-to-date read on the economy that you will find anywhere, our well-being work measuring all of the non-monetary things that make life worthwhile, or our global research where we give a voice to billions of citizens around the world.

In 2010, we gave you many more ways to consume our news, hopefully making it easier and more fun to do so. We've been thrilled by the response to our presidential job approval center and watched the 2010 congressional race evolve right along with you on our Election 2010 Key Indicators interactive. We also built interactives to help you monitor what is happening in your state and around the world, among others. Hundreds of thousands of you have also come to us via our new mobile applications for iPhoneand Android, as well as our perennially popular widget.

Below, I share with you our most-read stories of the year, both overall and in our key topic areas of economy, well-being, and world news. While the bulk of you still come to us for political and leadership news, we want to make sure you don't miss the insights we provide daily with our economic, well-being, and world news. For a good grasp of all that we cover, check out our our annual Year in Review.

If you like Gallup.com and value it as a trusted source for news and intelligence, please share our site with a friend. With your support and continued growth, we can continue to enhance our site and to improve the news we bring to you.

Finally, since we're all about listening to the people, please know you can always e-mail us with comments, questions, or suggestions at gallup_news@gallup.com. Thank you for readership, as always. We look forward to sharing many more breakthroughs with you in 2011.
