About 58% of Democrats favor the provision of tax credits for electric vehicles, down from 71% in 2022, an AP-NORC poll finds. The drop among independents was more drastic, with 28% in favor of the tax credits compared to 49% in 2022.
Additionally, Republicans saw a 6-point drop in favor of EV tax credits.
Regarding tax credits for solar panels, support among Democrats and independents remained relatively unchanged. Roughly 72% of Democrats and half of independents still favored those tax credits, down from 79% and 59%, respectively.
Support among Republicans similarly fell, with an 8-point drop from 50% to 42%.
The poll results are notable, considering Democratic lawmakers pushed for increased investment in and development of renewable energy over fossil fuels during the Biden administration.
