The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
November 1, 2024: Sixty-five percent (65%) of voters believe it is possible to generate the energy America needs in an environmentally friendly manner. A Napolitan News Service national survey conducted by RMG Research found that just 15% do not believe it is possible, and 20% are not sure.
The survey also found that most (55%) say it is more important to reduce the cost of power for American families than to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Thirty-eight percent (38%) say reducing greenhouse gas emissions is more important.
Methodology
The survey of 1,000 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on October 21-22, 2024. Fieldwork 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.
Scott Rasmussen is the president of RMG Research, Inc.
