More than half of the voters surveyed as part of the Utah Priorities Project expressed a high level of concern (4 or 5 on a 5-point scale) about partisan politics. The issue ranks 8th on the top ten list of issues identified by voters in the statewide survey.
A research brief issued by Utah Foundation shows the concern was consistent across party lines, though there were significant differences among voter responses to other questions depending on their party affiliations. Among Republican voters, for example, 27 percent felt that the policies of their own party are so misguided that they threaten the nation’s well-being. The figure was 22 percent for Utah Democrats, while 25 percent of unaffiliated and 3rd party voters felt that the policies of both parties were on the wrong track.
