With residents facing tough economic times amid climbing heating fuel and gas prices, people questioned in the survey ranked those concerns near the top of the list — a first for the statewide survey.Neither was listed as a concern during six previous Pan Atlantic surveys, dating back to February 2005, the report states.
"‘High gas prices’ is second overall," among the concerns of Mainers the report states, noting it topped the list for 15.8 percent of respondents. "This is the first time this issue has been cited to any significant degree by responders to the Pan Atlantic SMS Group Omnibus Poll."
Tax reform, at 13.3 percent, the cost of living (9.3 percent), health care (8 percent) and energy-related concerns (7 percent) rounded out the top five concerns Mainers listed.
Nearly half of Maine citizens polled (49.8 percent) reported that they plan to drive ‘a lot less’ this summer due to gas prices, while 32.5 percent answered ‘somewhat less,’ the report states.
