More voters are opposed to a ban on the sale of new gas-powered vehicles in Washington state than in support of it, according to new WA Poll results released Tuesday. Earlier this year, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee announced the state would ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles beginning in 2035, following California's lead. The move is a "critical milestone" in the fight against climate change, Inslee said. California's guidelines would require all new cars, trucks and SUVs to run on electricity or hydrogen. Washington lawmakers decided in 2019 that the state would adopt California's zero-emission vehicle rules in accordance with the federal Clean Air Act. Of voters polled, 48% responded saying they opposed or somewhat opposed Inslee's announcement, with 38% saying they supported or somewhat supported the decision. Another 14% of voters responded saying they weren't sure how they felt about the ban. Support and opposition to the gas-powered vehicle ban varied among party and ideological lines.
