The prospect of raising the federal gasoline tax has drawn mixed reviews, the Quinnipiac University poll found.
Although 46 percent think it is a good idea, 44 percent think it is a bad one. Unlike many policy proposals, there is no sharp partisan split.
Forty-eight percent of Republicans, 49 percent of Democrats and 46 percent of independents believe raising the gas tax helpful in paying for infrastructure projects involving railroads, bridges and roads.
Congress last increased the gasoline tax in the 1993 and some have been floating the idea of increasing it again.
The Quinnipiac poll was conducted from February 16-19 and surveyed 1,249 voters. The survey has a 3.4-percentage-point margin of error.
