New Polling: 9 in 10 Voters Support Federal Heat Rule

NATIONAL POLITICS

Researchers at Data for Progress published new polling showing overwhelming and bipartisan support for the new federal heat rule proposed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

“This federal heat rule is more popular than almost any other policy you could poll. The only reason we don’t have heat protections yet is because politicians like Greg Abbott are so chock-full of corporate donations that they can’t listen to their own voters,” said Congressman Greg Casar (D-Texas). “Protecting workers from the heat unites voters across the aisle in a way that virtually nothing else does. With such overwhelming support from Americans, let’s finish the job.”
