Poll: Suburban Pittsburgh voters represented by Rep. Conor Lamb rate climate provisions of infrastructure plan highly
PITTSBURGH — A new poll released Wednesday revealed support for President Joe Biden’s infrastructure proposal across the political spectrum in Pennsylvania’s 17th Congressional District. The district, represented by Rep. Conor Lamb, includes all of Beaver County and portions of Allegheny and Butler Counties. This survey, providing district-specific data on how voters view the American Jobs Plan (AJP), is sponsored by PennEnvironment, Earthjustice and Environment America.
PA-17 Voters’ Support for the American Jobs Plan
Summary After hearing about the American Jobs Plan (AJP), a strong majority (57%) of voters in PA-17 say they want Congressman Lamb to vote in favor of its passage. District voters strongly favor the overall plan as well as each of its core components. Indeed, PA-17 voters support the plan’s multipronged focus on addressing climate change by reducing carbon pollution and supporting energy efficiency, as well as providing targeted assistance to disadvantaged communities that are most harmed by pollution. They also strongly favor the plan’s investments in clean energy, with three in five (59%) saying this makes them more likely to favor the plan, as well as transitioning to 100% clean sources by 2035. Furthermore, majorities favor the proposed funding mechanisms for the AJP, including partially rolling back tax cuts on corporations and eliminating taxpayer-funded subsidies for oil and gas corporations.
