AEM Poll: Water Innovation Key to Infrastructure Modernization

Republicans and Democrats have at least one thing they can agree on this election year, according to a national poll released last week by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM). With less than 90 days left before Election Day, the poll found that half of registered voters say the nation’s infrastructure has gotten worse over the last five years, and a majority of voters said roads and bridges are in “extreme” need of repair.

The findings were part of a new national poll commissioned by AEM to gauge voter perceptions and attitudes about the current and future state of U.S. infrastructure amid a high-profile election. The poll found that registered voters, regardless of political affiliation, recognize the declining state of the nation’s infrastructure as an issue that should be addressed and believe that the federal government should do more to improve infrastructure across the board.
