There were dozens, if not hundreds, of huge stories that happened in 2013.   But which ones did YOU follow the most?

According to the Pew Research Center,  the following were some of THE stories that Americans followed the most this year.  

Of course, the Boston Marathon Bombings came in at #1,  hard to exceed that.  Over 63% of Americans surveyed by Pew said they regularly followed the shocking news and followup stories.  Running a very close second, but perhaps the biggest story of the year was the ongoing news about Obamacare.   The Pew study reflected people who had an ongoing interest and kept following news about these and the stories listed below. 

But some of the other big ones included:

• Obama's gun proposals (from January)
• Fiscal cliff deal  (January)
• Budget Sequester (March)
• Government monitoring -NSA - (June)
• IRS scandals and targeting (May)
• Benghazi investigation (May)
