September 14, 2022: Fifty-eight percent (58%) of voters would oppose the introduction of a California-style ban on gas-powered cars for their own states. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that a third (33%) would support such a ban.

The survey also found that 56% believe it is more important to reduce the price of gas than to reduce carbon emissions. Thirty-five percent (35%) hold the opposite view.

Methodology
The survey of 1,200 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on September 1-2, 2022. Fieldwork for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. Certain quotas were applied, and the sample was lightly weighted by geography, gender, age, race, education, internet usage and political party to reasonably reflect the nation's population of registered voters. Other variables were reviewed to ensure that the final sample is representative of that population.

The margin of sampling error for the full sample is +/- 2.8 percentage points.
