2022 Conservation in the West Poll
The Colorado College State of the Rockies project is pleased to make available the results of the January 2022 Conservation in the West Survey, conducted by New Bridge Strategy and Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates. Polling in eight western states explores voters' bi-partisan opinions in each state and of the Rocky Mountain West. The survey polled registered voters in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. Voters responded to questions concerning conservation public lands, energy, water, wildlife, wildfire, and other pressing challenges in the Mountain West.
