In Focus: Partisan Views on Climate Change

While climate policy often polarizes members of Congress, American voters—Democrats, Independents, and Republicans—generally support climate policy. In this In Focus video, Stanford University Professor and Resources for the Future (RFF) University Fellow Jon Krosnick discusses the findings from polling that examines areas of partisan agreement and disagreement on climate science and policy.

These polling data make up the third report in the Climate Insights 2024 series. Since 1997, Krosnick and other RFF researchers have tracked views held by Americans about climate change as part of the Climate Insights survey project. Find out how these views have changed over time.
