There's some very interesting data in the Moore Information poll released today by a coalition of health groups pushing for a big cigarette tax increase in Idaho. Among the results: 47 percent of Idahoans say the state is generally headed in the right direction, while 40 percent think Idaho's on the wrong track. That's pretty closely divided; the poll's margin of error is plus or minus 4 percent. Pollster Bob Moore calls that a "narrowly optimistic" voter mood.

While really big numbers favored increasing taxes on alcohol and tobacco to address Idaho's budget deficit, respondents strongly opposed raising the sales tax, income tax or gas tax. And by even bigger numbers, they opposed reducing funding for roads, health care or education. You can read the full results here.
