According to the latest Peach State Poll, the drought is the most serious problem that has ever faced the state. 41% of the public surveyed for the poll believe that the drought is Georgia’s most important problem. This is the first time in the poll’s history that any issue has received more than 30% of the vote.
The next two issues of concern on the list came in way behind – crime with 11% and education with 9%. A vast majority of the 800 adults randomly polled think there may not be enough water 10 years from now. 71% of Georgians say that the drought has affected their daily activities. About one-half to two-thirds would not oppose a 5 to 10 dollar annual fee to improve water quality overall.
