Overview
- A Fabrizio, Lee & Associates survey of 800 GOP+ voters found 51% favor utility-scale solar, with support rising to 70% when panels are American-made with no ties to China.
- The poll reports 68% agree the U.S. needs all forms of power generation to lower electricity costs, and 79% say government should let all sources compete without political interference.
- Fielded Jan. 19–21 with a margin of error of ±3.46%, the survey was commissioned by First Solar, a U.S. solar manufacturer that has highlighted domestic production.
- Tony Fabrizio’s firm conducted the poll, a notable detail given his role as President Trump’s campaign pollster.
- The findings arrive as the Trump administration tightens reviews of imports and slows or pauses some wind and solar approvals, with observers watching for any impact on Treasury guidance, permitting, or manufacturing incentives.
