RFA Poll Finds 75% Back Year-Round E15 Sales as Senate Stalls on Bill

Summary
75% of registered voters backed expanding E15 availability and 71% supported federal legislation allowing year-round sales, according to a new Morning Consult poll for the Renewable Fuels Association.
The survey lands as the Senate weighs whether to move the measure as a standalone bill or fold it into a broader package, after the House passed nationwide year-round E15 legislation in May.
RFA said the results show the Senate has a clear opening to act, while President Donald Trump has repeatedly urged Congress to prioritize the issue.
The push comes during a crowded pre-August agenda for agriculture lawmakers, with the farm bill, more than $11 billion in requested farm aid and hemp-rule fights competing for floor time.
