Healthcare has moved into the top spot on the Utah Priorities Project survey of voters across the state of Utah for the 2016 election cycle.
Jobs and the economy, which had been the highest priority issue in 2010 and 2012 dropped to fifth place, and air quality moved into the second position on the Priorities Project’s top ten list of voter concerns.
The top ten list is based on polling done for Utah Foundation by Dan Jones and Associates. In this year’s preliminary survey, we asked 507 Utahns to report what they considered to be the top two issues facing Utah that the governor could do something about. Based off of those responses, Utah Foundation created a list of 21 priorities. Dan Jones then surveyed a group of 818 registered voters to rate their concern of these 21 priorities on a 1 to 5 scale. The priorities were then ranked based on their average score, and this ranking was used for the Utah Foundation Priorities Project top ten list.
