Many of the constituencies that have heard the least about the IRA are also the most inclined to support it if they learn about it. Most registered voters (57%) say they have heard either “a little” (24%) or “nothing at all” (33%) about it. After learning about the IRA, however, most registered voters (68%) say they support it. The demographic groups least likely to say they have heard “a lot” or “some” about the IRA include Black Americans (27%), people who earn less than $50,000 annually (27%), women (33%), Gen Z/Millennials (33%), and those with a high school education or less (30%). These same demographic groups (except those with a high school education or less) are among the groups most likely to “strongly” or “somewhat” support the IRA after reading a description about it: Black Americans (78%), people who earn less than $50,000 annually (72%), women (75%), and Gen Z/Millennials (78%). The smallest differences in IRA support are among income groups: people who earn less than $50,000 per year are only marginally more likely to support the IRA than those who earn $100,000 or more.
