Two-thirds of likely voters in the early primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina support “ending the production of fossil fuels,” according to a survey released Tuesday by Greenpeace.
The poll also found that of the voters who favor ending fossil fuel production, 50 percent support ceasing production “immediately.”
“Voters expect the next president to listen to what the science demands, and say yes to a Green New Deal and no to fossil fuels.”
—Jack Shapiro, Greenpeace USA
Fifty-five percent of early primary state voters, regardless of party affiliation, support a government jobs guarantee for those displaced by the transition to a fossil fuel-free economy, according to the survey.
