New polling from @dataforprogress.org and @insurancefairness.bsky.social: While Congress and SCOTUS consider giving Big Oil a shield against climate lawsuits, voters oppose immunity in large and unusually bipartisan numbers www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2026/10...
Chart: Voters across party lines oppose legal immunity for oil and gas companies

Polling question: Recently, some oil and gas companies have pushed ffor legislation that would provide them with legal immuniity from having to pay for the dmages they have ccaused by worsening climate change.

Do you support or oppose legal immunity for oil & gas companies, shielding them from being held accountable for climate disaster damages?

Categories of answers are "strongly oppose, somewhat oppose, don't know, somewhat support and strongly support.

Among all likely voters, immunity has a net support of -55
Among Dems, that's -70
Among Indies, that's -58
Among GOP, it's -39
In Cali, it's -52, and in Louisiana it's -43
