About this episode
The episode discusses rising concerns about political violence in the U.S. and explores public opinion on renewable energy and vehicle types.
On this week’s Poll Hub: Following the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, we're looking at rising concerns about political violence in the United States and what recent polling reveals about how Americans view it. While large majorities say politically motivated violence is increasing, a growing share also believes it may be justified under certain circumstances. Next, we turn to how Americans are thinking about renewable energy today. While support for sources like wind and solar remains strong overall, it has declined in recent years and become more divided along political lines. At the same time, opinions shift when it comes to cost, reliability, and local impact, revealing a growing gap between broad support in theory and hesitation in practice. And, lastly, we continue with this topic by discussing the growing debate of hybrid vs electric vs gas powered cars.
