The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
May 4, 2023: Sixty-six percent (66%) of voters say that more energy exploration in the United States is good for the environment because it means fewer energy resources coming from countries with lower environmental standards. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that just 14% disagree, and 20% are not sure
The survey also found that 65% believe it is possible to maintain high environmental standards and protect the environment while modernizing the regulatory process so that important infrastructure projects can be approved in a timely manner.
Methodology
The survey of 1,000 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on April 18-19, 2023. Field work for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. Certain quotas were applied, and the sample was lightly weighted by geography, gender, age, race, education, internet usage, and political party to reasonably reflect the nation’s population of registered voters. Other variables were reviewed to ensure that the final sample is representative of that population.
The margin of sampling error for the full sample is +/- 3.1 percentage points.
Note: Neither Scott Rasmussen, ScottRasmussen.com, nor RMG Research, Inc. have any affiliation with Rasmussen Reports. While Scott Rasmussen founded that firm, he left nearly a decade ago and has had no involvement since that time.
