A new Trafalgar poll finds that a majority of Americans believes the Biden administration is letting gas prices rise intentionally in order to get the country off of fossil fuels and on to green alternatives.
Perhaps people believe this because members of the Biden administration keep coming right out and saying that we are “transitioning” off of oil and gas.The Daily Caller has some details on the poll:
Poll: Majority Of Americans Think Biden Is Intentionally Sending Gas Prices Sky High To Fuel Green Agenda
Over half of American voters believe President Joe Biden is intentionally allowing gas prices to skyrocket in order for the people to use less fossil fuel, a Friday poll found.
A Trafalgar Group poll found that 53% of Americans believe the president is intentionally allowing prices to rise in order to make people rely on clean energy, according to the poll. Another 39% countered saying he is not doing so. Over half of Independent voters, 56%, agreed soaring gas prices are the president’s intention, while 37% disagreed.
Nearly one-quarter of Democrats, 24%, believe the president is intentionally allowing prices at the pump to rise, while 68% do not believe he is having any impact. The vast majority of Republicans, 77%, believe the administration wants gas prices to soar, while 12% disagree.
The poll surveyed 1,091 adults between May 25-29 with a 2.9% margin of error.
Seems pretty straightforward.

We have documented multiple examples to support the findings of this poll. See here, here, and here.
For further proof, let’s go to their own words.
Here’s Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg three days ago, clearly talking about a transition to electric vehicles:
To support the transition to electric vehicles, we must build a national charging network that makes finding a charge as easy as filling up at a gas station.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen one week ago:

Biden made his intentions known at one of the final Democrat debates.

There are other examples, but you get the idea.
It’s very easy to conclude from their own words that they see our government-created energy predicament as an opportunity to “transition” to green energy, something the left has wanted to do for years.
Is it surprising that people believe they’re letting gas prices rise intentionally when they keep coming right out and admitting that they want us off of fossil fuels?
