In a recent Gallup poll, 73% of respondents said they personally are prioritizing use of alternate energy sources. Past polls show that a majority of Americans have favored alternative energy since 2011, but "this year marks the first time a majority of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents prefer an alternative energy strategy:" 51%. One theory offered for this is that with lower gasoline prices, Americans feel there is less risk in shutting down some oil drilling in the U.S.
Here is the page on the Gallup website where they present the results of this poll.
