Issue: Climate Policy

This post includes climate and environment headlines, data points, and key takeaways from recent public polls – including lots of new polling on climate and the environment as issues in this year’s election, new polling of Latino voters, new polling about conservation in the states that touch the Mississippi River, and new polling about clean energy infrastructure siting in California.

A digital ad campaign in 19 priority counties in Indiana shifted the target population’s perceptions of renewable energy. Voters were considerably persuaded by the “property tax” message (+12 percentage point increase in renewable energy support) and “lower electricity bills” (+6). There’s also modest improvement using the “reliability” message (+4). The “property tax” message in particular worked really well (+23) with MAGA Republicans.
