WASHINGTON DC (01/09/2024) – The American Energy Alliance and the Committee to Unleash Prosperity recently sponsored a survey of 1600 likely voters equally divided among eight States (Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Missouri, and Ohio) conducted by MWR Strategies in December 2023. The total sample margin of error is 2.45 percent.
The survey results confirm that there has been little change in sentiment and attitudes on energy and climate change. Many of the responses in the survey are either consistent with or more emphatic than what we have found in previous surveys.
For example, just 3 percent of respondents identified climate change as the most pressing issue facing the United States, compared to the 59 percent that identified the economy as either the first or second most important issue facing the United States. 51 percent of all voters (including 63 percent of Republicans) oppose a carbon dioxide or energy tax on imported goods. When asked what they would be willing to pay each year to address climate change, the median response was 10 dollars, and 35 percent (including 17 percent of Democrats) said they were unwilling to pay anything.
