Biden polling underwater on climate change ahead of speech touting Inflation Reduction Act
The bleak number presents a disappointment and challenge for President Biden, who’s made tackling climate change a central pillar of his administration’s agenda. The poll also comes just one day before he’s set to celebrate the one-year anniversary of his economy and climate spending law known as the Inflation Reduction Act.
The poll’s results suggested the president has so far failed to sell the impact of the law to Americans, despite Democrats and administration officials frequently touting its components. Most respondents said they were unaware that many provisions they support are actually in the law. A majority of respondents said they support provisions expanding tax credits for buying electric vehicles, purchasing heat pumps for home heating and cooling, installing solar panels on homes and businesses, and manufacturing solar panels and wind turbines in the U.S.
The law, seen as a centerpiece of what the White House calls “Bidenomics,” was passed in Congress last year with only Democratic votes. It includes roughly $370 billion in green energy tax credits to promote electrifying home appliances, increasing the use of solar energy, purchasing electric vehicles and boosting domestic manufacturing of critical minerals for EV batteries.
