Poll: Majority Wants U.S. Federal Trust Fund for Clean Water

More than eight in 10 Americans believe that clean and safe water is a national issue that deserves federal investment, according to a new poll conducted jointly by Republican and Democratic polling firms.

Federal legislation that would create a long term, sustainable, reliable trust fund for clean and safe water infrastructure received support from what the pollsters call "an overwhelming majority" of those surveyed, 86 percent. By 67 percent to 26 percent, Americans prefer spending to guarantee clean and safe water over tax cuts.
