Poll: Global Warming Concern Steady Despite Some Partisan Shifts

Americans’ concerns about global warming are not significantly different from the record-high levels they were in 2017. However, partisan gaps across global-warming measures are slightly wider than in 2017. 89% of Democrats — vs. 62% of Independent voters and 35% of Republicans believe global warming is caused by human activities. Similarly, 91% of Democrats worry a “great deal” or “fair amount” about global warming, compared to 62% of Independents and 33% of Republicans. Conversely, 69% of Republicans think seriousness of global warming is “generaly exaggerated” vs. 34% of Independents and just 4% of Democrats.
