Majority of Voters Support Net Neutrality Rules as FCC Tees Up Repeal Vote

As the Federal Communications Commission moves forward with plans to repeal Obama-era net neutrality rules, a new Morning Consult/Politico poll shows bipartisan support for keeping the regulations in place. Fifty-two percent of registered voters in a Nov. 21-25 poll said they support the current rules, which stipulate that internet service providers like Comcast Corp., AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc. “cannot block, throttle or prioritize certain content on the Internet.” Eighteen percent of voters in the nationwide poll said they were opposed to the rules, and another 29 percent said they didn’t know or had no opinion.
