Georgia survey: Restore HOPE scholarships to needy |
|
In its first survey of Georgia voters, Better Georgia reveals strong support for proposed legislation that would return the failing HOPE Scholarship program to its original intent of serving Georgia families with the most need. 
Voter support for the measure to place a family income cap on recipients of the scholarship receives strong support from voters of all political backgrounds, including Republicans, Democrats and voters who identify themselves as independents. The survey shows 61 percent of registered Georgia voters support an income cap and 52 percent support it strongly. Only 26 percent of respondents oppose the plan.
