Yet another poll that blows up this political issue
(Daily Caller) Â Only one in 10 Americans say global warming is the most important issue facing the U.S., according to a new Bloomberg poll.
Even though 90 percent of Americans did not say global warming was the country’s most pressing issue, climate concerns topped other categories. Only 6 percent said the U.S.’s relationship with Russia was a top concern, and only 4 percent said taxes.
The Bloomberg poll found that health care was by far the top concern for Americans. Thirty-five percent said health care was their top concern and 13 percent pointed to unemployment and jobs.
The results shouldn’t be that surprising. Polls consistently find only a fraction of Americans rank global warming as their top concern. A 2016 YouGov poll, for example, found only 9.2 percent of Americans listed global warming as their top concern.
If we look at the metrics in the Bloomberg poll (page 1 bottom),l we do find that, for a change, it’s not dead last or next to last. It does better than
- taxes (4%)
- trade (2%)
- other (4%)
- none of these (2%)
- not sure (2%)
Oh, and this “relationship with Russia” 6%. So, two of the main things Democrats yammer about are low hanging fruit.
In all fairness, immigration is at 10%, as well.
California passes a new gas tax, err, cap and trade legislation to fight climate change. They’re going to hurt the poor more.
Gas prices will go up by an estimated 63 cents per gallon in 2021, increasing to 73 cents per gallon in 2031. And this is on top of the car and gas tax that was just passed in April.
Climate Change tied with Immigration. Only Health Care was a significantly greater concern than the others.
Immigration………………..10
Health care………………..35
Relationship with Russia…….6
Terrorism …………………11
Climate change……………..10
Taxes …………………….4
Unemployment and jobs……….13
Trade …………………….2
Other (VOL) (specify:) ……..4
None of these (VOL) ………..2
Not sure ………………….2
So little jeffuckery is a 6 percenter.
Wrong fool. MIT says nothing there. Fool.
TEACH typed: Surprise: 90% Of Americans Don’t Care About ‘Climate Change’ As An Issue
Aside from it being inaccurate (TEACH: try to understand the survey), following his “reasoning”, 96% don’t care about taxes, 90% don’t care about immigration, 89% don’t give a shit about terrorism, 98% don’t care about trade, and 98% are not sure what they care about.
TEACH claims that 35% care about Health Care but 98% are not sure what they care about!! How can that be??
Pro Tip: The question asked “Which of the following was MOST important…” and didn’t rank what the polled considered 2nd, 3rd etc. Sad.
It is foolish to worry about that, fool.
kimi,
Yes, getting things right can be complicated. But for jesus’ sake, TEACH is a professional conservablogger and should at least try not to be so stupid.
Maybe trumpski has set the bar so low that even D-list conservabloggers have stopped trying.
Hey, dipshit, let us know when you start your own blog, little jeffuckery, because you’re so smart.
Besides it seems you have plenty of time now that your grandson is old enough to defend himself.
As pointed out, clearly his headline is in error. Likely he didn’t understand the survey. It’s possible that TEACH made a simple error reporting that 90% of Americans Don’t Care About Climate Change. If so, he can simply correct it by changing his headline.
It’s been our experience that conservabloggers NEVER correct their obvious mistakes or lies. This explains, in part, why Con Men believe so much that is untrue. Perhaps if Con Men read more widely they’d understand more of the world around them, but FOX News, conservablogs, Atlas Shrugged and the Old Testament narrows their world view.
…And that little shit for brains is why I stopped visiting here for so long. He is almost literally the turd in the punch bowl.
I drop by, and what do I see? Jeffy running his ignorant mouth. Again. I’m sorry I made the effort.
casey,
The guy is a total fool. Everyone here knows it and discounts his crap. We all would love to here from you and we should all petition Teach to get rid of him.
Crazey,
Happy to drive you away. Like most of the Con Men commenters here you offer little beyond your mudslinging. You raise the level of discourse by not typing! Thanks!
See Teach, the stupid fool is making it unpleasant for everyone here to communicate. If he were commenting on a liberal site, they would have barred him after two comments. The guy is an absolute fool and is trying his best to destroy the good work that you are doing.
kimi,
You are such a snowflake. If you don’t want to be criticized, stop telling lies. Rather than namecalling when one of your “ideas” is challenged, defend your idea. Certainly your “ideas” can stand the scrutiny of someone as foolish as I, right?
We understand that you want this to be a place where you can stroke and succor right-“minded” folks who “think” just as you do.
Anyway, I’m just trying to make TEACH a better blogger.
kimi,
And I wish there were more conservacommenters here who actually made arguments. Face it, you and dp only cast insults… Dana and GT are/were the only commenters who make arguments.
We get it. You don’t like having your ideology challenged and you may not have the intellectual horsepower to defend it. Maybe that should tell you something.
And TEACH exaggerates and lies and mocks/ridicules in most of his posts. We point that out as often as possible.
