Drought, urban sprawl, low snowpack — those are all some of the things that are seen as “serious to very serious” problems by Montanans, according to a new bipartisan poll of voters in the state.
Montanans are also worried about their quality of life, with 62% of voters saying their area is worse than it was five years ago, while 31% say it’s the same and just 6% say its better.
The survey inquired folks who had lived here at least five or more years. That dissatisfaction represented a 7% increase over two years ago.
