Three-in-Four Voters Favor Reinstating Net Neutrality

Coverage Type: 

A large, bipartisan majority of Americans (73%) support reinstating net neutrality, including 82% of Democrats, 65% of Republicans, and 68% of Independents. Support for net neutrality, while very high now, is a bit lower than in 2017 and 2018 when net neutrality was in place voters were asked about repealing it (83% and 86% respectively).  This drop may be due to what social scientists call a “status quo bias,” which is a general tendency to favor the status quo.
