If Democrats take control of Congress and the White House in 2020, only six percent of likely voters think they should focus on fighting global warming, according to a new poll.
A poll of likely voters found “31 percent said they would want Democrats to focus on health care,” Vox reported of a new poll by Civis Analytics, which was formed by former Obama campaign staffers.
“Guns were the second most cited issue, at 15 percent, followed by immigration (14 percent), deficit reduction (11 percent), and climate change (only 6 percent),” Vox reported of the poll. Only infrastructure and election reform ranked lower for voters.
Pollsters found “very liberal respondents” were more likely to want a Democratic-controlled government to go after climate change and guns, but healthcare still ranked as a top priority.
It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, however. Global warming tends to rank low on voters’ priority lists, despite years of liberal campaigners trying to make it a top-tier issue.
For example, a recent Bloomberg poll found only one-in-10 Americans thought global warming was a top issue facing the country. A 2016 YouGov poll found only 9.2 percent of Americans rank global warming as their biggest concern.
A 2015 Fox News poll found just 3 percent of Americans viewed global warming as the most important policy issue.
Democratic mega-donor Tom Steyer pumped millions of dollars into a campaign group, NextGen Climate Action, to try to mobilize the youth vote around global warming.
Steyer’s election spending hasn’t done much to move the needle on global warming, and the hedge fund billionaire has since shifted his focus to trying to impeach President Donald Trump.
While Americans tend not to see global warming as a top-tier policy issue, other polls suggest voters can be worried about future climate change.
A recent Pew Research Center poll found 56 percent of Americans saw warming as a “major threat” to the country. A Yale University poll found 39 percent of Americans believe there’s a 50/50 chance global warming will bring about human extinction.

Amber and G: I submit that government schools are working exactly as intended.
Private schooling is not a realistic option for most. As for public schools, Saturday mornings should be reserved for deprogramming.
G … That would be a good start . Kids are smart …they know when they are being brain washed .They play along to pass and get out .
High school for many is the worst time in a kids life because they are old enough to think for themselves but are trapped .
It needs to change . Some would be far better educated by getting most of their “education ” on-line and away from the loons allowed to pitch their agenda to defenceless kids .
“High school is increasingly an outdated dysfunctional model .
How would a youngster know how to sort through the crap on the Internet? Google? Wikipedia?
Google offers neither values or wisdom.
Wikipedia is not immune from bias.
If kids know that they’re being brainwashed, where’s their protest? Cowering from p c bullies just to get through school is pathetic.
90% of the “free things from Bernie problem” would be resolved if K through 12 students were required to take fact-based courses on the US Constitution (including its history,relevance, and significance), Then they need serious real-world Economics NOT taught by teachers wearing Che Guevara t-shirts.
time to end all these litigation these stupid Greens whats money not a cleaner enviroment which we already have Earth Justice NRDC,Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund,Greenpeace,EDF Etc its big $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ they want
Obviously the Dems could care less what the public is interested in . They proved it last election with arrogant distain for coal workers and shoving their “green ‘ paymaster agenda down everyone’s throat . The paymasters will be the same eco anarchist globalist
but this time they will wrap themselves differently , be less transparent , and deliver the same corrupt agenda if they get in .
The USA has been successful when united behind one flag
and with a common purpose . It is being torn apart by self interest and feigned hurt feelings .
Super Packs ensure citizens lose their voice .
The Dems are too busy trying to ruin Trump to appease the Watermelons/Eco-Nazis to ever bother with the truth and i hope it blows up in their faces
How about we don’t have the Dems focus on anything since what they want to do will help destroy our economy.
Robin Hood-Bernie offered free health care and free college. The youngsters were all-in. How many kids would turn down stolen goods? Answer that question honestly and you’ll see where the country is going wrong.
