A new poll conducted from Jan. 23-30 found that while more than 8 in 10 Utah residents remain concerned about the drought impacting the state, the string of storms this winter that left ample mountain snowpack has eased concern about drought compared to last year. About Utah’s drought, 85% of survey participants were concerned, 14% were not concerned, and another 1% did not know.
More than 52% of those polled responded that they were less concerned about drought than last year, 14% were more concerned, 34% were just as concerned and 1% didn’t know.
