Why blame lobbyists for this?

You can see for yourself what actual Americans think the "most important problem" they're facing is:

Global warming and income inequality are so low they barely register in the poll at all. Representatives follow their constituents.

Over the last few years it's become increasingly clear that many people don't think for themselves and will believe in whatever their favorite media tells them. A lot can be done to convince the population that climate change and income inequality aren't major issues.

Also, that poll seems flawed because it asks a superlative question (what is the "most" important problem) instead of using something like ranked choice where perhaps climate change and income inequality were everyone's second and third options.
