Georgians are largely pessimistic about the direction of the country and the performance of institutions, as they identify jobs, poverty, and inflation – all worsened by the pandemic – as the top issues – says the new public opinion survey commissioned by the National Democratic Institute (NDI), a U.S. non-profit. Also, vaccination hesitancy remains high, especially among younger generations.
 
According to the survey, 30% named roads, 22% said water supply, and 12% said pollution of environment as the main local problems.

As the poll shows, figures vary for the capital, urban areas and rural settlements. If In Tbilisi, 24% named traffic, 22% said pollution of environment, 19% said roads, 14% said parks and green spaces; in other urban areas, roads, water supply and environmental pollution were identified as top issues by 29%, 14% and 11%, respectively. Rural residents focus on roads and water supply with 38% each.
 
The survey was fielded by the Caucasus Resource Research Centers (CRRC) for NDI between July 13 and July 25 with the financial assistance of the UK Aid, and was carried out through nationwide mobile phone interviews (excluding occupied territories) with 2,016 respondents and has an average margin of error plus, minus 1.3%.
