New polling results published Thursday revealed that a majority of U.S. adults believe climate change is the most important issue facing society, have made an effort to reduce their contribution to the global crisis, and are willing to vote for a candidate based on their position on the topic.
The American Psychological Association (APA) survey—conducted in December 2019 by the Harris Poll—comes on the heels of Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucuses for this year’s presidential race, where entrance polling showed that the climate crisis was the second-most important issue to caucusgoers, behind healthcare.
