Survey shows Trump voters favor ethanol

In Washington, a new post-election survey shows that decisive voters in the 2016 presidential election are staunch supporters of American ethanol. The survey of 3,000 Trump voters in the Midwestern battleground states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Iowa, Indiana and Minnesota found that more than eight in 10 respondents agree with the President-elect’s vocal support for ethanol and believe the homegrown biofuel is vital to American jobs and energy security.

“Conservatives and liberals alike need to take a fresh look at Trump voters in the Midwest – they are staunchly pro-ethanol,” said Emily Skor, Growth Energy CEO. “These are voters who clearly understand that biofuels like ethanol are delivering greater U.S. energy security, more jobs, cleaner air, and better fuel options for consumers. The road to victory is powered by clean-burning, homegrown biofuels.”

According to the poll, conducted between December 6 and 22 by Quadrant Strategies, 83 percent of Midwestern Trump voters agreed with the President-elect’s campaign promise to promote the addition of more homegrown ethanol in America’s fuel supply.
