8 in 10 American Voters Support a National Policy Reducing Single-Use Plastic
In February 2023, Oceana released a nationwide poll (link to results below) revealing that most Republican and Democratic voters are concerned about single-use plastics and support policies that reduce them. Included among the key findings: 84% of American voters are concerned about plastic pollution and its impact on the environment and our oceans; 86% are concerned about single-use plastic products; and 81% support local, state, and national policies that reduce single-use plastic.
The poll, conducted by the nonpartisan polling company Ipsos, surveyed 1,000 American adults from across the U.S. between Dec. 12 and 19, 2022, and found broad bipartisan support for policies that reduce products like single-use plastic bags, foam foodware, takeout containers, and packaging from online shopping.
