The Green New Deal has Strong Bipartisan Support among Registered Voters

A survey of 966 registered U.S. voters conducted in late 2018 found that 81% support the policy goals of the Green New Deal, including a majority of Republicans (64%). The report suggests this high level of bipartisan support may be due to the fact that 82% of respondents had heard nothing about the Deal prior to the survey and were not told which political party championed the proposal.

• A vast majority of registered voters in the United States support the Green New Deal's policy goals, with 81% expressing support (40% "strongly support" and 41% "somewhat support").
• Support for the Green New Deal is bipartisan, with 92% of Democrats and 64% of Republicans supporting the goals. This includes a majority of conservative Republicans at 57%.
• Public awareness of the Green New Deal was very low at the time of the survey, with 82% of registered voters reporting they had heard "nothing at all" about it.
• The high level of bipartisan support may be attributed to the absence of partisan framing in the survey, as respondents were not informed that the plan is championed by Democratic members of Congress.
