Most Americans favor the major provisions of the Democratic bill endorsed last week by Sen. Joe Manchin III of West Virginia on climate change, health care and taxes, according to a new poll.
The Yahoo News/YouGov poll published Tuesday found that 47% of respondents favored the portion of the “Inflation Reduction Act” that promised to cut greenhouse gas emissions to 40% below 2005 levels by 2030 at a cost of $369 billion.
In contrast, 30% of respondents opposed the section of the bill.
A total of 61% of respondents said they favor the part of the package that’s intended to lower prescription drug prices by capping out-of-pocket costs at $2,000 and allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices.
