Utah Statewide | July 20 - 22, 2021

A survey of registered voters in Utah found broad bipartisan support for data-driven criminal justice reform. Conducted between July 20 and July 22, 2021, the poll found that, among other things, 62% of voters believe the criminal justice system needs significant improvements, including nearly 7 in 10 independents. And that need for reform extends beyond the state, with more than 80% of voters agreeing that the federal government is spending too much money locking up low-level drug offenders and should instead shift funding to other pressing public safety priorities like violent crime, expanded treatment, and funding for law enforcement.
