In JavaScript, you need to use a backslash \ before a new line in a string literal.

What you should be doing is using json_encode() around any value from PHP to JavaScript to let it fix the escaping for you. Better yet, to assign it to a variable before your JS to make it easier to read.

var titleHTML = <?php echo json_encode($found1); ?>;
$('.survey_title').html(titleHTML).css('color', 'red');
