Nearly 9 in 10 American voters support clean energy incentives in the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), according to new polling released today by Global Strategy Group (GSG), North Star, and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). One thousand registered voters across the US were surveyed between August 1 and August 8, 2024.

Notably, 78% of 2020 Trump voters support federal clean energy tax credits, and only 10% of 2020 Trump voters strongly oppose IRA policies. There’s not an appetite among Republican base voters for Congress to repeal IRA provisions.

“Every American wants lower electricity prices and greater energy security – and that’s precisely what federal clean energy policies are delivering,” said SEIA president and CEO Abigail Ross Hopper. “Politicians may talk and bluster as the election approaches, but the polling is clear, and a savvy lawmaker will not undermine the billions of dollars in clean energy investments that are flowing into their states and districts.”

Andrew Baumann, partner at research firm Global Strategy Group, said, “The clean energy incentives passed as part of the IRA are wildly popular, including with Trump-supporting Republicans, and politicians from either party who want to repeal those incentives are putting themselves at great political risk.”

Harris because she is a woman and a woman of colour. No more sugar coating it.
