Public Disagrees With Trump & GOP On Climate Change




These charts reflect the results of a new Morning Consult Poll -- done between July 13th and 17th of a national sample of 2,200 adults. The margin of error is 2 points.

It shows that the Republicans in Congress (and Donald Trump) remain far out-of-step with the public on global climate change. About 57% of the public believes climate change is being caused by human activity. Only 26% believe it is a natural phenomenon, and 5% believe it's not happening.

And a clear majority (63%) believe climate change is a serious problem -- with 27% saying it's a crisis and another 36% saying it's a major problem. Only 29% say it's a minor problem or no problem at all.

This is why you won't see any Republicans campaigning on this issue in the next election campaign. It's also why Democrats need to make this a major campaign issue.
