Nearly 80% of Voters Want Biden to Increase American Energy Production 

 

As Russia-Ukraine War Rages and Gas Prices Surge in the US, Voters Overwhelmingly Want the Biden Administration to Act on Domestic Energy Production 

(Austin, TX—March 16, 2022) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2021—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted March 7th through March 11th of over 1,000 likely 2022 election voters.

“We can see in these numbers that Americans of all political stripes are being heavily impacted at the gas pump and want to see decisive action to ease our inflation-plagued economy. But this is not only about lowering prices, it’s also obvious to everyone that buying oil from our enemies threatens both America’s national security and our economy. Voters want Americans to benefit from American-produced energy,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action. “Nobody believes the Administration's preposterous claims that so-called green, alternative energy sources can help us fix this growing disaster, and leaders in both parties would be wise to take immediate steps to change our current energy trajectory."
