More voters are concerned about rising energy costs than climate change, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll released Monday.
“When push comes to shove, polls consistently show energy and economic security trump climate change for a majority of the public when asked which is more important,” said H. Sterling Burnett, director of Arthur B. Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy at the Heartland Institute. “Oil and gas remain, for the foreseeable future, vital to maintaining our present standard of living and lifestyles and to ensure continued economic and national security.
Overall, 42 percent of likely voters do not believe climate change will be catastrophic within 100 years, including 24 percent who say it is “not at all likely.” According to the poll report, majorities of every political and racial category are “at least somewhat concerned about rising energy and gasoline prices.” Men are more likely than women to believe Congress and Biden should focus on drilling.
