Net neutrality has lost some of its support since the Federal Communications Commission announced plans to abandon the Obama-era regulations on internet service providers.



A poll from Morning Consult and Politico released on Wednesday found that 52 percent of registered voters support net neutrality regulations, compared with 18 percent who say they don't.



The findings indicate an 8-point decline in support for the rules since the pollsters' survey in June, when 60 percent approved net neutrality. That survey found that 17 percent opposed the regulations.

The issue is one of the few that cuts across party lines. Among registered voters, 55 percent of Democrats and 53 percent of Republicans said in the latest survey that they support net neutrality.

FCC Chairman Ajit Pai announced last week that the rules, which prevent internet service providers from blocking or manipulating connection speeds to specific online content, represent a "failed approach" to regulating the internet.
