Bipartisan Momentum Grows for Offshore Wind: Tarrance Group Poll Results, June 2025
Polling MemoA new multi-state poll conducted in June 2025 by the Tarrance Group finds that public support for offshore wind energy continues to grow, with nearly 70% of Americans favoring new offshore wind projects both nationally and within their own states. The data reflects a strong, bipartisan consensus that offshore wind is an essential part of meeting America’s rising energy demand, particularly as AI, data centers, and other power-intensive technologies drive rapid increases in electricity consumption. Voters overwhelmingly link offshore wind to economic opportunity, job creation, and long-term energy stability, viewing it as a reliable solution to keep pace with the nation’s evolving energy needs.
The survey also shows that support is strengthening across party lines, with favorability among Republican voters rising from 46% in January to 51% in June. Respondents cited price stability, pollution reduction, and energy independence as the top reasons for backing offshore wind, signaling that the public increasingly recognizes its dual economic and environmental benefits. Nearly 80% of voters expressed concern that delaying or canceling large-scale offshore wind projects could cost jobs and hinder economic development, underscoring the growing sense of urgency for policymakers to expand renewable generation.
