Apparently looking back, it's harder to find some of that polling that I remember reading. It depends on where in the world you are, but here's some polling showing support for removing or reducing some of the animal agriculture subsidies

For fossil fuel subsidies, apparently much more polling exists for carbon taxes, so it was actually difficult to find them

Though in looking back for some of these sources, I did find an interesting study for fossil fuels subsidies showing that the polling for carbon taxes and subsidies was pretty similar in 5 developing countries (Ecuador, Egypt, India, Indonesia and Mexico) with support varying on more of what the money was put towards instead.

Thank you for the links and it is somewhat heartening to read the support for such things!
