Gallup: Low-income, minority Americans worry most about drinking water pollution

Posted on

“A Gallup poll shows 63 percent of Americans — mostly low-income and minorities — ‘worry a great deal’ about pollution in drinking water, a 2 percent increase from last year and the most since 2001.

The poll released Friday shows that in 2016, 61 percent of Americans worried about pollution in drinking water, which was a 6 percent increase from 55 percent in 2015. In the 2017 poll, about four in five nonwhites said they were concerned about pollution in drinking water, compared to 56 percent of whites.”
