National monument POLL
Voters overwhelmingly support the idea of designating the public lands adjacent to the Grand Canyon as a national monument, a new poll has found.
Doing so is appealing to Arizonans regardless of political affiliation, as such a designation would help protect water supplies and Native American sites from energy development and mining, according to the survey.
Three-quarters of respondents to the recent survey voiced their approval for such a designation, including 89 percent of Democrats, 73 percent of Independents and 65 percent of Republicans.
Only 12 percent said they oppose a national monument, per the survey, conducted by the Impact Research public opinion firm for the Grand Canyon Trust.
