So, if Trump promised a carbon tax, government so everyone could buy a Tesla, and said he would fight for a tougher Paris Climate agreement and fully instituted AOC’s Green New Deal, would they vote for him over Biden?
How important is climate change to voters in the 2020 election?
As Election Day nears, a majority of registered voters in the United States say climate change will be a very (42%) or somewhat (26%) important issue in making their decision about whom to vote for in the presidential election, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted July 27-Aug. 2.
Nothing says “I care” like a poll in the middle of the summer
Registered voters supporting Democratic candidate Joe Biden and Republican President Donald Trump have very different perspectives on the issue. Nearly seven-in-ten Biden voters (68%) say climate change is very important to their vote. By contrast, only 11% of Trump supporters say the same. In fact, climate change ranks last in importance (out of 12 issues tested in a recent survey) for Trump supporters.
The issue of climate change has been growing in importance for Americans over time. Six-in-ten adults now view climate change as a major threat to the well-being of the U.S. – up from 44% who said this in 2009. And a January survey – fielded before the coronavirus outbreak – found a rising share citing climate change as a top priority for the president and Congress. In both instances, rising concern has been concentrated among Democrats, but not Republicans.
Yet, most refuse to give up their own use of fossil fuels, etc and so on, you know what I write.
Still, the share of all voters who say climate change will be very important to their vote (42%) trails behind other leading issues such as the economy (79%), health care (68%) and the coronavirus outbreak (62%).
So, basically, it’s a big nothingburger when moving from theory to practice. This article is basically a rehash at the Pew Institute of the previous article on the poll. Perhaps they should ask the climate (scam) voters questions like
- How much of your own money are you willing to give up, through taxes, higher energy, goods and food costs, to stop climate change?
- Are you willing to give up your own use of fossil fuels?
- Do you keep your AC above 80F and heat below 65F?
- Would you be willing to live in a tiny house to solve the climate crisis?
- Would you be willing to live in a world similar to the COVID lockdowns?
- Are you OK with government telling you where you can live, where you can travel and when, and how many kids you can have?
Warmists never think the bad things from their policies will hit them in their own lives.
