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

Highlights...1/x
A large majority of Democrats think GW should be a high or very high priority for the president and Congress. Much lower support among Republicans.

2/x
Most registered voters think developing sources of clean energy should be a high or very high priority. Extremely strong support among Democrats.

However, we see a sharp drop in support among Republicans compared to our last survey. We are currently investigating why.

3/x
Good news is that there's still majority support for many climate-friendly energy policies among both Republicans and Democrats.

Strongest support for providing tax rebates for energy-efficient vehicles or solar panels.

4/x
Further, there is broad support for a major investment in the nation's infrastructure. Although the current public discourse suggests that there are disagreements about what this should include.

5/x

Strategic communication has enormous value, but our knowledge on it is fragmented. How do we distill it all into a general overarching framework?

I spoke to @AbelGustafson about this question for the last two years. Here's what we've come up with... 1/x
First, we developed this framework for *strategic* communication, to be applied to purposeful, specific goals (e.g., increase vaccinations, convince people to take action on climate change, etc.).

This is familiar to our #scicomm #envcomm and many of our other colleagues.

2/x
We go way back and build on Lewin and others by conceptualizing the *driving force* as all the efforts, contexts, and systems that advance a campaign’s goals, and the *restraining force* as all the efforts, contexts, and systems that restrict a campaign’s goals.

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

Some highlights... 1/x
The biggest takeaway is that many policies currently being considered by Congress have strong support among a large majority of registered voters, including many Republicans.

Strongest support is for tax incentives to make existing buildings more energy efficient (86%)

2/x
We also find that a majority of registered voters would support a president declaring a national emergency to act on global warming.

A while back, our research teams categorized Americans into six distinct groups: Global Warming’s Six Americas

The proportion identified as Alarmed has more than doubled in the past five years.

Are there subsegments WITHIN the Alarmed? Highlights from our new study… 1/x
We segmented the Alarmed based on their reported political and consumer behaviors, their willingness to perform a variety of activism behaviors, and discussion with close others.

We identified three subsegments: the Active, Willing, and Inactive

2/x
The Active are most likely to say they’re already participating in a campaign to convince elected officials to take action, but still few overall.

Majority of the Willing say they would join a campaign, whereas the Inactive are likely to say they’re unsure if they would.

🚨New report: American Public Responses to COVID-19🚨

Quick THREAD on some highlights on our findings 1/x Image
By a HUGE margin, Americans prefer to stop the spread of the virus over stopping economic decline 2/x Image
Most Americans correctly identify true/false statements about COVID-19 (great!), but still an alarming proportion of Americans (22%) do not understand important facts, for example, that the virus can live on some surfaces for days. 3/x Image
