Also, 76% seems inconsistent with the 2022 Gallup Poll on the same issue (which gets 51% for the same question):

If you asked conservatives if they wanted to trade their gas stove for one powered by nuclear electricity you might get a different opinion ;-)
There have always been exceptions. Atomic Rod operated nuclear reactors in the land of submarines and was so impressed by the experience that he's become an evangelist for small modular reactors. He's a Democrat, even if he sees everything as nuke vs anti-nuke.
