Jobs, rising prices and poverty were named as the top national concerns in a new poll released by the National Democratic Institute and CRRC Georgia.

To the survey question about the most important national issues facing citizens, 36% of respondents said jobs, 35% noted rising prices and inflation, and 32% highlighted poverty.

NDI surveys public opinion to help Georgian stakeholders diagnose and address issues of public concern by providing accurate, unbiased and statistically sound data. This poll aims to capture the most relevant information to foster the development of responsive policies and governance. The new report looks at a nationwide survey conducted between July 14 - August 15, through face-to-face interviews with a nationwide representative sample of Georgia’s adult population, excluding occupied territories. The August poll included 2,104 completed interviews. The average margin of error is +/- 2 percent.
