I'm not convinced this poll is much indication of anything; it's just asking about a weird carbon tax scheme.

> Suppose a proposal was on the ballot next year to add a monthly fee to consumers' monthly electricity bill to combat climate change. If this proposal passes, it would cost your household $____ every month. Would you vote in favor of this monthly fee to combat climate change, or would you vote against this monthly fee?

  $1/month:    57% favor
  $10/month:   28% favor
  $20/month:   30% favor
  $40/month:   23% favor
  $75/month:   15% favor
  $100/month:  16% favor
A more useful question would be: "Would you oppose climate change regulations that had the effect of increasing your energy bills $10/month?"
