51% of Republican supporters are skeptical about (or uninvolved with) climate change compared to just 19% of Democratic supporters

Public recognition of the climate crisis is a partisan issue in the USA 

Whilst overall 30% of Americans can be classified as being Skeptics / Uninvolved, research by Haddock Research and Branding shows that public recognition of the climate crisis is a strongly partisan issue in the USA. 51% of Republican supporters are skeptical / uninvolved about climate change compared to just 19% of Democratic supporters.  

Should John McCain be elected president of the United States on 4th November 2008, this research suggests that he could have a particularly difficult time persuading his Republican supporters to back strong climate change policies. Indeed, he could face considerable hostility to such policies from his political base.
