Mountain States Policy Center (MSPC), in cooperation with the Boise-based GS Strategy Group, is proud to announce the results of our 2022 Idaho Poll.
MSPC's Idaho Poll will be released every December in even-numbered years ahead of the legislative session to provide critical information regarding the state's top policy issues. From tax and budgeting, to education freedom, and even energy use, this comprehensive data taken directly from the citizens of the state will help inform our research work, and could be critical to the debate in the halls of the state capitol this January.
The poll was conducted November 12-17. The total number of respondents was 400, with a margin of error of +/- 4.9%. Here's the data regarding those who participated, as well as what Idahoans thought about some of the top policy issues facing the state.










Excellent survey.
However, starting the question about income taxes by saying "Nearby states like Arizona and Utah have lower income taxes than Idaho" likely biased the results. And even if it didn't, it's such an absurd way to start the question it likely discredits the results in the eyes of a serious researcher.
Disclosure: I think income taxes should be lowered.
