New survey, same results: Likely voters of all stripes oppose a carbon dioxide tax.
Daily Caller (1/9/23) reports: "Only a small fraction of likely voters in swing states think one of President Joe Biden’s key issues, climate change, is the most pressing problem faced by the country today, according to the results of a new poll. The survey, conducted by MWR Strategies, found that 3% of respondents pointed to climate change as the most important problem facing the U.S. today, while 59% of respondents identified the economy and inflation as either the most or second most important issue for the country. When asked how much money respondents would be willing to pay to fight climate change, the median answer was $10, with 35% of all respondents and 17% of Democrats surveyed indicating that they would not want to pay anything...The poll also found that 51% of respondents, including 63% of polled Republicans, said that they opposed an energy tax on imported goods. The December 2023 poll, conducted by MWR strategies and sponsored by the American Energy Alliance (AEA) and CTUP, surveyed 1,600 likely voters in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio with a 2.45% margin of error. The results could be a troubling sign for Biden as the 2024 campaign heats up, as massive regulation and spending related to climate change have been key pillars of his first term’s climate agenda...'The results reconfirm what we already knew: voters are not willing to pay any tax associated with carbon dioxide or energy – including a carbon dioxide or energy tax on imported goods,' Tom Pyle, president of the AEA, said of the poll and its results. 'Those who believe in limited government and free energy markets continue to be allied with the vast majority of voters with respect to the destructive and pointless nature of carbon dioxide taxes and on the fundamentals of the issue of climate change.'"
