Three out of four Americans believe that the Earth has been gradually warming as the result of human activity and want the government to institute regulations to stop it, according to a new survey by researchers at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University.
The survey was conducted by Woods Institute Senior Fellow Jon Krosnick, a professor of communication and of political science at Stanford, with funding from the National Science Foundation. The results are based on telephone interviews conducted from June 1-7, 2010, with 1,000 randomly selected American adults.

For example, only 9 percent of respondents said they knew about the East Anglia e-mail messages and believed they indicate that climate scientists should not be trusted, and only 13 percent said the same about the controversial IPPC reports.
"Overall, we found no decline in Americans' trust in environmental scientists," Krosnick said. "Fully 71 percent of respondents said they trust scientists a moderate amount, a lot or completely." As the above graph shows, this number has remained virtually the same in every poll since 2006.

That's the group I want to be determining public policy /sarc
This poll is bullsh!t.
A b@llshite poll. I can’t believe that Stanford is associating their name with this one.
Where did they poll? SF- LA Corridor?..................
This poll, by a (deliberately copycat) environmental extremmist group in CA mimicking Massachusetts’ Woods Hole Maritime Research Institute’s name, has many problems and failures - including who they polled, what questions were asked (only a few responses of the 54 questions were released) and very mis-leading terminology in their questions.
Better, more responsible and more scientific polls put global warming dead last of thirty public concerns.
Manufactured ‘news’ for the great unwashed...steaming pile of unicorn obama.
My poll is just as valid as theirs.
It goes without saying that the people of the earth are to be good stewards of our beautiful planet. Using it to restrict or even confiscate our freedoms is not called for in any way, shape or form. A power play, with little regard for conservation!
LOL!
My poll says 299 million Americans think this poll is made up.
Sorry, I can’t help myself.
‘Majority’ is a singular subject and requires a singular (supports) verb.
This must be the Annual Summer Global Warming article, floated by the Looney Left, who still don’t know it gets hot in summertime.
The devil has millions of useful idiots out there.....and the sad part is they have no clue.
My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.... Hosea 4:6
But I also wonder about the scientific demographic and statistical accuracy of this survey....I smell a rat.
Warm weather polls= global warming; cold weather polls= not so much
BEEEEE ESSSSSSSSSSS
lol
worst poll ever award!
GLOBAL WARMING IS A MADE UP SCAM!
It was probably a poll in San Francisco. City of ignorance.
What a coincidence that this comes out right before Zero tried to cram Crap and Tax down our throats.
Upon contact, ask the pollee if they are a commie libby if they say no, hang up.
