2024 Conservation in the West Poll (click to see full report) - COLORADO SPRINGS—Colorado College’s 14th annual State of the Rockies Project Conservation in the West Poll shows a clear and resounding preference for conservation when voters are given a choice over how public lands are used and that those issues play a key role in who voters will support in the 2024 elections. The poll, which surveyed the views of voters in eight Mountain West states (Arizona, Colorado, Idaho,Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming), found 67 percent of voters are worried about the future of land, water and wildlife. Majorities of voters view issues like loss of habitats and declining fish and wildlife populations, inadequate and polluted water supplies, microplastics, uncontrollable wildfires,air pollution, loss of pollinators, and loss of natural spaces as extremely or very serious problems in their state. 66 percent of voters think the effects of climate change in their state over the past 10 years are significant. The levels of concern about climate change, wildlife habitats, water supplies, pollution, and the loss of natural areas are at all time highs over the poll’s history. Here is a link to Colorado's poll results.
