  Polarized Views: A Green New Deal, Climate Change



  Two polls that asked about the Green New Deal soon after it was announced in February show that many Amer-
  icans are not familiar with it or do not have opinions about it. Partisan differences are prominent nonetheless,
  with Democrats more in favor than Republicans. In the next few pages, we examine recent questions and trends
  over time that show deep and growing divisions between Democrats and Republicans on global warming and
  climate change.

  Q: How much, if anything, have you heard in the news recently about the Green New Deal?
                    Heard a lot about
                    the Green New Deal         Heard a little         Heard nothing at all

Q: As you may know, Democratic lawmakers recently introduced a Green New Deal resolution in the House and
Senate, calling for the elimination of greenhouse gas emissions to the maximum extent possible and for meeting 700
percent of US power needs with clean, renewable and zero-emission energy sources over a '10-year national mobiliza-
tion.' The resolution does not set a date by which oil, gas, or coal would be phased out and does not explicitly exclude
ener gy sources like nuclear or hydropower Based on what you know now, do you support or oppose the resolution ?
                                                                             Don't know/
                    Support                               Oppose             No opinion
