Poll: Tennessee voters care most about health care

Gov. Bill Haslam and Governor-elect Bill Lee

For the first time in the history of Vanderbilt University’s public policy poll, Tennessee voters say health care should be the chief priority for state government, ahead of the economy and education.

The poll also found Governor-elect Bill Lee with a favorability rating rivaling that of outgoing Gov. Bill Haslam. Fifty-seven percent of registered voters approve of Lee, with 22 percent holding an unfavorable view.
