Need assistance resolving error message in Chrome, very odd this api works in IE....

For some reason I can understand - Chrome simply doesn't like the "options" string - but it works in IE

chart.draw(data, options);

this is the options data :{"title":"Annual MI Report","legend":"bottom","hAxis":{"title":"Year","format":"#"},"vAxis":{"minValue":"0","maxValue":"100","title":"Major Incident Count"},"chartArea":{"left":"100","top":"50","width":"70%","height":"50%"},"animation":{"duration":"1000"}}

this is the data :"{\"cols\":[{\"label\":\"Year\",\"type\":\"number\"},{\"label\":\"HPE\",\"type\":\"number\"},{\"label\":\"HPI\",\"type\":\"number\"},{\"label\":\"HPE/HPI\",\"type\":\"number\"}],\"rows\":[{\"c\":[{\"v\":2010},{\"v\":50},{\"v\":42},{\"v\":3}]},{\"c\":[{\"v\":2011},{\"v\":45},{\"v\":22},{\"v\":2}]},{\"c\":[{\"v\":2012},{\"v\":80},{\"v\":33},{\"v\":7}]},{\"c\":[{\"v\":2013},{\"v\":55},{\"v\":44},{\"v\":8}]},{\"c\":[{\"v\":2014},{\"v\":70},{\"v\":55},{\"v\":4}]},{\"c\":[{\"v\":2015},{\"v\":66},{\"v\":8},{\"v\":11}]},{\"c\":[{\"v\":2016},{\"v\":22},{\"v\":11},{\"v\":5}]}]}"
