Jobs, schools, top concerns for voters

ATLANTA - Jobs and the economy, along with schools, are the most important issues on voters&#39; minds, according to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution/WSB-TV poll.<br> <br> In a new survey of Georgia voters, the guarantee of adequate supplies of water, has also risen to the top of Georgia&#39;s worry list.<br> <br> But transporation and traffic, which topped the agenda of Gov. Roy Barnes in 1998, lies near the bottom of a list of voters&#39; top 10 anxieties.<br> <br> &#34;Job security is muscular, something that touches every fiber in your body,&#34; said state Democratic Chairman Calvin Smyre. &#34;Traffic is something you can get over once you get to your job. You can&#39;t get over traffic if you&#39;re headed to the unemployment office.&#34;<br> <br> In the survey, 60 percent of voters expressed dissatisfaction with the state of the national economy. And yet in the same poll, nearly half of voters - 49 percent - say things in Georgia &#34;are generally going in the right direction.&#34;<br> <br> The poll, based on telephone interviews with 500 likely Georgia voters, was conducted from Sept. 26 to Oct. 1. It has a margin of sampling error of 4 percentage points.<br> <br>
