FDU Poll Finds 64% of N.J. Voters Back New Gas-Powered Plants

A new Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU) Poll found that New Jersey voters support the construction of new natural gas power plants by a 3-to-1 margin (64% in favor), viewing them as a bridge solution to quickly lower energy prices until renewable options are ready (which will be never). Yes, in deeply blue N.J., both Republicans AND Democrats favor building more gas-fired power plants. The support is partisan, with Republicans overwhelmingly backing new construction (89%) compared to Democrats, who are less enthusiastic but still favor the plants (46% support vs. 33% oppose).
