(KAIR) -- Kansans responding to the fourth Kansas Speaks survey of Kansas public opinion still overwhelmingly believe the state is a good place to live, with more than 95 percent of respondents rating it from fair to excellent.
And the "fair" portion was only 9.1 percent. "Excellent" was picked by 19.7 percent, "very good" by 34.9 percent, and "good" by another 32.1 percent. "Poor" (2.7 percent) and "very poor" together totaled only 4.23 percent of the 928 people who completed the 2012 edition of Kansas Speaks.
Fort Hays State University's Docking Institute of Public Affairs has conducted the survey since 2009. For this year, 4,468 Kansas residents were contacted.
The 928 respondents, according to Dr. Jian Sun (jan soo-un), senior research scientist at the Docking Institutes, computes to a margin of error of 3.2 percent.
Director of the Docking Institute, Dr. Gary Brinker says the survey made an interesting discovery on the new law requiring presentation of photo ID at the polls.
