Utah legislators meeting at the Capitol are trying to come up with ways to make drivers shoulder more of the cost of state highways and roads. One obvious option is raising the gas tax, which lawmakers fear is politically unpopular. But 50 percent of voters would support this option, according to a new Salt Lake Tribune-Hinckley Institute of Politics poll.
Source: Dan Jones & Associates talked to 803 registered Utah voters from Jan. 15 to 18. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 3.5 percentage points.
