Poll: US Voters Focussed On Energy Independance Not Climate
More than half of registered voters rate making America energy independent higher than ‘climate change’, according to a new poll by Napolitan News Service
According to the poll, 57 percent of voters hold that view, while 39 percent take the opposite position.
The poll found a wide divide between political parties, with 84 percent of Republicans prioritizing American energy independence over ‘climate change’ and 31 percent of Democrats putting American energy first.
Only 14 percent of Republicans polled said ‘climate change’ is more important, whereas 65 percent of Democrats said it is.
The poll also found that 59 percent of voters say reducing the cost of electricity and improving grid reliability and natural gas supply should take precedence over ‘climate change’.
Democrats, the poll found, were evenly divided on the issue, while Republicans overwhelmingly placed energy cost and security over ‘climate change’.
Providing clean air and water for everyone also came out ahead of ‘climate change’ for 68 percent of voters, according to the poll. This survey of 1,000 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on March 18-19.
Field work for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. Certain quotas were applied, and the sample was lightly weighted by geography, gender, age, race, education, internet usage, and political party to reasonably reflect the nation’s population of registered voters.
Other variables were reviewed to ensure that the final sample is representative of that population.
The margin of sampling error for the full sample is +/- 3.1 percentage points.
