Support for solar energy and offshore wind falls among Democrats and independents, AP-NORC poll says

A new poll shows Americans’ support for green energy tax credits and renewable energies like wind and solar power has decreased in recent years, driven by a softening in support from Democrats and independents. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll finds U.S. adults’ support for tax credits for electric vehicles and solar panels has weakened, as well as their enthusiasm for offshore wind farm expansion. While Democrats remain the strongest supporters of these initiatives, the poll reveals signs of growing cynicism within their ranks. The poll results coincide with sweeping changes President Donald Trump's Republican administration is making to regulations related to energy and climate change.
