Offshore wind was a hot topic during last November's election.
Now a new survey finds it's not a key ballot issue for most residents.
A Stockton University Pew Center poll finds offshore wind projects aren't a high priority for New Jersey voters, even among those who support the industry.
Just over half, 52% of voters somewhat or strongly favor installing wind turbines off of New Jersey's coast.
But only 17% said a candidate's position on offshore wind would influence their vote in a meaningful way.
That number was higher for coastal residents, about 28%.
People who live along the Jersey Shore were also less likely to support the projects, 43% compared to people surveyed who live farther inland at 55%, according to the poll.
