The 2008 Utah Priorities Survey: The Top Issues and Concerns of Utah Voters for the 2008 Election

Throughout this election year, Utah Foundation will work to provide information, analysis, and public dialogue on the issues that matter most to you as you consider the future of Utah. The project began with a survey conducted by Dan Jones and Associates to understand which issues are of greatest concern to voters. The result of this survey are now available here by clicking the links at right.

The survey found that the top 10 issues for Utah this year are:

1. Energy Issues, Including Utility & Gasoline Prices
2. K-12 Education
3. Taxes and Government Spending
4. Healthcare
5. Immigration
6. Crime and Security
7. Water Supply and Quality
8. Environmental Issues, Including Air Quality & Pollution
9. Transportation and Traffic
10. Dealing with Utah’s Growth

The project also has a special website (www.utahpriorities.net) which will host a library of information on the top issues as well as information about upcoming events, forums, and other events. Sign up there for email notification of all releases of Utah Priorities research reports and events.
