Americans want their old Fossil-Fuel economy back- I&I/TIPP poll
issuesinsights.com ^ | 7/21/2022 | terry jones

Joe Biden’s presidency has foundered as gasoline prices have soared, with readings in numerous polls showing record or near-record low favorability. Biden’s climate change policies, which many blame for the sudden surge in fuel costs, are now highly unpopular among average Americans, a new I&I/TIPP Poll shows.

For our online July I&I/TIPP Poll, taken from July 6-9, we asked 1,643 adults across America to consider the following statement: “President Biden has said that record-high gasoline and electricity prices are necessary for meeting his goal of eliminating fossil fuels in the U.S. to fight climate change.”

Respondents were then asked to respond to a question with five choices: “Would you say you:

1.) Agree with Biden’s climate change policy, even if it means higher energy prices.

2.) Disagree with Biden’s policy, and want more energy produced to decrease prices.

3.) Don’t think global climate change should be a U.S. policy priority.

4.) I don’t believe in climate change.

5.) Not sure.

The answer that came back loud and clear will not be comforting to either Biden or his Democratic Party advisers: Just 32% of those answering the poll, which has a margin of error of +/-2.5 percentage points, said they support Biden’s climate change policy even if it means higher energy prices.

But a far larger majority of 57% answered in the negative. They either said they disagreed with his policies and want more and cheaper energy (41%), or don’t think climate change should be a U.S. policy priority (10%), or don’t even believe that the climate is changing (6%).

In the blue part of Ohio, a lot of people, particularly those under 50, lust after EVs. They are terrified of climate change making the world unlivable.

It would be unwise to dismiss the power of the indoctrination amongst the climate change cult.

As much and hard as they try and insert climate change fear into every single weather report and news article, so millions of hits, people just don’t have this as a priority.

What a scam..all this EV business.
If it worked they wouldn’t need to strangle the economy to force people into EVs..which are neither cleaner or or doable.

All of these liberal A-holes keep bringing up that they want to “transition” to non-fossil fuel economy, and YOU will just have to suffer. I want to “TRANSITION” to a GOOD ECONOMY...Let’s elect Trump and transition to an economy that provides the cheapest energy, without government assistance or subsidies, and let folks utilize the cheapest and best methods of transportation, with the greatest convenience. Let the market determine which fuel we use!

The Weather Channel is now absolutely impossible to watch because of all the climate change propaganda BS.

They talk about it like it’s slam dunk settled science and attribute all kinds of weather anomalies to it while providing little or no data to back it up.

I’m glad my streaming service offers several other weather channel options.

None of the liberal relatives have purchased an EV. Not one. They still use their gas guzzling Gaia molesters to drive to family gatherings to talk about saving the earth.

There's a lot of that going on. I suspect many of the 32% are just virtue signaling. Even if it's anonymous, it makes them feeeeeel good.

The 32% who supported this is homeless, like most Biden supporters.

Cute the way they split the results with 3 questions for the anti climate BS. Add them together and you get 57% want no part of this BS.

Agree. Our society is very gullible and easily manipulated.

Built sufficient nuclear power producing plants to replace fossil fuel before destroying the fossil fuel industry.

ABSOLUTE IDIOTS!

The uninformed and ignorant are many and negate the views of those who carefully think about things like practicality, feasibility and consequences.

We are totally outnumbered.

This is just a continuation of what they have been doing for a long time. They are all in on real estate.

I agree with your post 100%. I always liked the Weather Channel from it's earliest days with John Hope and Lynn Shear. Last week a Weather Channel bimbo said: "Yesterday was the hottest Texas has ever been!" I told my wife: "I think she means since they have been keeping records." It is now all in your face Leftoid propaganda.
