Few Utah voters support extending unemployment benefits

An extensive survey released this fall reveals the top issues Utah voters consider when choosing a candidate.

The survey was released by the Utah Foundation, and is sponsored by KSL and the Hinckley Institute. The survey was conducted by Dan Jones and Associates.

The top issues, according to Utah voters, include jobs, the economy, K-12 education, government spending and health care. The survey included different demographics, such as Democrats, Republicans, older people and younger people.

In a Hinckley Forum on Wednesday, Kirk Jowers, the director of the Hinckley Institute and Steve Kroes, president of the Utah Foundation, discussed the survey numbers and gave their opinion of what it means for the candidates in the November election.

The issues discussed by Jowers and Kroes were education, immigration and government spending. The questions asked in the survey did not only concern where people stand, but what solutions should be implemented, Jowers said.

It was the most extensive survey ever done in Utah, he said.

The No. 1 issue in the survey-by far-was the economy. Kroes was surprised that the survey results showed few Utahns were in favor of extending unemployment benefits.
