Poll: Voters Don't Support Donald Trump's Climate Change Agenda
Time Mag. ^ | Apr. 6, 2017 | Justin Worland

Posted on 04/06/2017 9:52:57 PM PDT by Innovative

The survey, conducted by Quinnipiac University, found that 66% of voters are "very concerned" or "somewhat concerned" that climate change will harm them or their family personally. And voters said they want those views reflected in policy. More than three fifths of voters — 62% — opposed Trump's targeting of regulations intended to fight climate change. A total of 72% of respondents said the government should not cut funding for scientific research—something proposed by the White House.

Time is the rag that did the “Meltdown” and “Total Meltdown” cover stories on Trump. Bigots.

If they are ready, willing, and able to falsify news, why would anyone be surprised that they would falsify polls? In fact, it seems to me, that creating a false poll is easier than creating false news,

But polls have always been super duper accurate!

Never have they failed to prognosticate the future for us!

Voters disagree with Trump on abortion, amnesty, the wall, taxes, guns, climate change... hell, just about everything

How on earth did he win ?

All polls are to control the Narrative of the psychopathic elites. AND they use our taxpayer money to brainwash children into believing their lies and disinformation (all for the future of having useful idiots as their slaves).

So—the polls are MEANINGLESS because they are either manipulated or the people asked are as ignorant as stumps-—they are just brainwashed so their is no rational response; emotions rule reason always.

They put in the whole System including “polls” and “MSM” and publik skools for their forcing of their agenda which includes desires and sodomy, no Natural families or reason or logic (Postmodernism), and orgies with the children.

Vice and traumatized, abused children create Slaves for the NWO.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

From March 30 - April 3, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,171 voters nationwide with a margin of error of +/- 2.9 percentage points. Live interviewers call landlines and cell phones.

The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public opinion surveys in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Iowa, Colorado and the nation as a public service and for research.

Only 'voters,' no political affiliation noted [thus, Dem-packed IMO], and look at the states involved. There's yer answer.

Climate change and the species of man being capable of changing the climate are two totally different discussions that the left has blurred together to use as a weapon of ridicule.

Who did they poll?

Who knows. I’ve NEVER been polled in my 45 years on this earth. (Although I don’t answer unknown numbers.) I think they have a list of people that they already know will lean a certain way and then use it when they want a poll to show a certain result.

Spot on! Our 8th grade teacher in Ithaca, NY taught us our area was under the one-mile thick Laurentide Ice Sheet.

Maybe it’s because I’m old enough to have lived through that cold spell that I have a sense of proportion about these things.

I wonder if they ask in the poll, "Would you support a 'climate change' policy if it meant huge increases in taxes, in higher costs of every consumer good you purchase, elimination of gasoline-powered vehicles, potential losses of millions of jobs, and a return to the dark ages?"

Bull. Most Americans don’t even believe in man made climate change. Trump should talk about how much we were spending and how adversely it affected business and development in the US.
