April 14, 2022: A majority of voters favor price controls on prescription drugs. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 43% of voters strongly favor price controls on prescription drugs, and 29% somewhat favor them. Ten percent (10%) somewhat oppose price controls on prescription drugs, and 6% strongly oppose them. Eleven percent (11%) of voters are not sure.

Methodology

The survey of 1,200 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on March 29-March 30, 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.

Note: Neither Scott Rasmussen, ScottRasmussen.com, nor RMG Research, Inc. have any affiliation with Rasmussen Reports. While Scott Rasmussen founded that firm, he left nearly a decade ago and has had no involvement since that time.

Scott Rasmussen is founder and president of the Rasmussen Media Group. He is a political analyst, author, public speaker, independent public opinion pollster and columnist for Creators Syndicate. Read Scott Rasmussen's Reports — More Here.
