This article gives an overview of public opinion in Batumi based on the 2012 nationally representative survey conducted by the Caucasus Research Resource Centers (CRRC). It examines people's attitudes toward local and national issues, discusses where people see improvement in their lives and the gaps that remain. The data shows that Batumi residents highly evaluate recent developments and believe that the right changes are being made. While people see a significant improvement in infrastructure, however, there are some key social issues that remain unresolved.
