Fox News Global Warming Poll

-- Adam -- 02/12/2007

A Fox News Poll conducted 1/30-31 and released recently shows positive movement on the issue of climate change among Americans. 82 percent of Americans say they believe that global warming is, in fact, real. That's a small but significant increase from the last time the question was asked in October 2005. A full 79% of those surveyed linked global warming to human activities, with over half of that group saying humans were the sole cause. "Sizable majorities" of Democrats, Republicans and independents say the problem exists. Even as the least convinced group (for lack of a better descriptor), a whopping 72% of Republicans believe there is some link between human activities and climate change. Of all groups, 79% of the respondents said they knew the issue at least "somewhat well". Overall, it seems like more Americans than before will be listening for solutions to global warming.
