McNeil and Barnes (2025) conducted a survey of 2051 respondents in the UK. The goal was to find out the respondents attitudes on the existence of a tradeoff between the environment and economic growth and their priorities in such a tradeoff.
They found out most people would prioritize the environment over growth.
In their cluster analysis on the responses, they identified the largest group to be "moderate environmentalists" (37 %), followed by a moderate economistic group (20 %) and a strong environmental preference group (19 %). 9% had extreme pro-economic-growth views.
They also tested whether highlighting the existence of a trade-off affected the respondents. They conclude that "greater public attention to the possibility of an environment-economic growth trade-off has only limited effects on support for environmental protection" and "It does not appear that increasing belief in the trade-off is consequential for people's policy positions."

I can only imagine this depends upon the education levels and amounts/types of propaganda the populace are exposed to. I'd expect notably differing results in the USA, unfortunately.
