.MaddowBlog: Whether those attitudes will persist in the coming weeks and months remains to be seen.
Americans have expressed support in recent weeks for a ban on Russian oil imports, but are consumers prepared to accept the consequences of such a policy by paying more at the pump?A wide majority of Americans, 79%, said they favored a ban on Russian oil imports even if the prohibition increased energy prices in the U.S., according to data from a new Wall Street Journal poll. Just 13% said they opposed it....
On many of the nation’s most contentious issues, there’s a sizable gap based on party affiliation, with Democratic and Republican voters disagreeing in large numbers. But these survey results from the Wall Street Journal suggest the issue is less divisive: 88 percent of Democrats support the moratorium on Russian oil imports, and 77 percent of Republicans agree.
Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy said, “Americans are ready to put a chokehold on Russia’s key financial lifeblood, oil, no matter what the consequences are at the pump.”, which showed more competitive results, but which nevertheless showed 49 percent of voters saying the government should target Russian oil exports even if it causes gas prices to rise.
Public attitudes, of course, can change quickly. Much of the country has been repulsed by the crisis in Ukraine, and many Americans appear to be responding by saying they’re prepared to accept a sacrifice: Consumers will pay more when filling up, as part of an effort to isolate the Russian government.That said, the data is also politically relevant. There’s been some commentary of late about President Joe Biden facing possible blowback as the public faces higher gas prices.
