Likely voters overwhelmingly think Biden should make boosting US energy production a priority: Poll
March 16, 2022
According to a recent Trafalgar Group poll, a whopping 77.3% of likely general election voters think that in the wake of the Russian incursion into Ukraine, President Joe Biden should make boosting U.S. energy production a priority. Just 9.3% did not think so, while 13.5% were unsure.
While 88.6% of Republicans thought the president should prioritize boosting the nation's energy production, just 67% of Democrats felt that way, according to the poll.
The poll was carried out March 7 to March 11 amid the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Americans, who have already been facing high gas prices, have recently been hit by even higher prices — according to AAA, the national average for a gallon of regular gas as of Wednesday is $4.305.
Last week, Biden issued an executive order to ban the importation of crude oil and other products into the U.S. from Russia.
High gas prices not only impact drivers, they also raise the cost of transporting goods at a time when Americans have already been getting hammered by rising prices — according to consumer price index data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the all items index increased by 7.9% over a one-year period.
Some have been critical of the Biden administration's green energy push, including the move last year to revoke a permit related to the Keystone XL Pipeline project.
