Since this survey was conducted at the behest of an interested party (a "leading full-service residential solar provider"), it's worth looking at what was asked. Here's the question:
> How much do you oppose or support a nationwide solar mandate?
32% expressed "strong" support for the mandate, while 38% expressed that they "somewhat" support a mandate.
Notably absent in the question: how much such a mandate would cost and who would pay for it.
I'm sure if a group that opposed solar mandates asked "A nationwide solar mandate is estimated to increase the cost of a new home by $xx,xxx. How much do you oppose or support such a mandate?" they'd get different results.
- loonster 5y agoPlenty of ways to get a biased survey. Some of them will be hard to notice. - Make it very long so only people interested in the topic will stay on. - Make some questions extremely biased so people not of that persuasion will hang up.
