Voters are split on whether the federal gas tax should be increased to pay for infrastructure improvements, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday.
Forty-six percent of respondents said that raising the tax would is a good idea, while 44 percent said it's a bad idea. The 2-percentage point difference falls within the survey's 3.4-percentage-point margin of error.
The survey comes after President Trump backed an increase in the gas tax during a meeting with lawmakers last week on infrastructure proposals.
