NYT environmental reporter Coral Davenport excerpt “In Climate Deal, Obama May Set a Theme for 2016.”:
But Democrats are increasingly emboldened by polls showing that in national elections, candidates who push climate change policies will win support from voters.
According to a 2013 poll by Stanford University, 73 percent of Americans believe that the earth has been warming over the past 100 years, while 81 percent of Americans think global warming poses a serious problem in the United States. In addition, 81 percent think the federal government should limit the amount of greenhouse gases that American businesses can emit.

Climate Depot Rebuttal: Climate Poll Con Job: ‘When you don’t like the poll numbers, make up your own poll’ – Media Duped Again By Stanford U. Pollster Jon Krosnick’s Shoddy Agenda Driven Climate Polling
Krosnick Has Been Publicly Reprimanded for poor results and methods by both Gallup & Pew Research
Pew research in 2010 said ‘Krosnick’s [previous] survey is marred by faulty methodology. …used words that encouraged a positive response’
Even fellow global warming activists like UN IPCC’s Michael Oppenheimer acknowledged Krosnick’s Stanford polls tend to skew to more ‘believers’ in man-made global warming
Krosnick new 2013 poll relied in part on 2006 polling data to draw conclusions about 2013
Krosnick in 2013 relied in part ‘on self-completion of Internet questionnaires’
Krosnick’s previous surveys lumped the phrase ‘global warming’ in with ‘the environment’ despite the fact that global warming was the ‘lowest concern among all ENVIRONMENTAL issues’
