Our latest Climate Change in the American Mind politics report is now out!

Some highlights... 1/x

A large majority of Democrats say GW should be a high or very high priority for the president and Congress. Far fewer (but a non-trivial %) Republicans say the same. 2/x

Compared to GW, a much larger proportion of people across the political spectrum say clean energy should be a high or very high priority for the president and Congress. 3/x

There is majority support among BOTH Democrats (95%) and Republicans (55%) for U.S. participation in the Paris Climate Agreement. 4/x

There is very strong support for a wide range of climate-friendly energy policies, even among conservative Republicans. Support among Republicans decreases when considering the more ambitious policies. 5/x

There is also very strong support for a wide range of policies that aim to reduce energy use and improve efficiency, but support varies widely depending on the specific policy. 6/x

Across the political spectrum, voters support a major investment in the nation's infrastructure. 7/x

Although this is widespread support for a major investment in the nation's infrastructure, there are large differences in what people think that should include. 8/x
