I think the post title is actually misleading; it's not Congress and America whose priorities are diverging; it's the media (and by implication, liberalism) and America whose priorities are diverging.
One only has to note that education and the economy are outside the (20% - 80%) box, indicating a high degree of public interest (and dissatisfaction). Neither gets a significant amount of journalistic attention. Gay relations, race relations, and abortion, all in the every-night-on-the-news media spotlight, are on the publics' meh list.
