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.
