The second debate between President Donald Trump and Former Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday will feature a segment on climate change, but recent polls show voters don’t consider it a top issue.
According to an August 6 Gallup Poll, only 1 percent of those surveyed identified climate change as the most important issue for this election…
Steve Milloy, founder of JunkScience.com, who served on Trump’s and Vice President Mike Pence’s EPA transition teams also weighed in.
“It is disappointing to see debate moderator Kristen Welker list ‘climate change’ as one of the few topics for discussion at the … presidential debate,” Milloy said in a statement. “Despite the issue being discussed in detail at previous debates, polls rank climate change near the bottom of voter priorities.”
“The most recent poll on willingness-to-pay for climate programs reports most voters aren’t willing to pay more than $2 a month more for electricity,” Milloy said. “Even polling done by activist groups shows that almost twice as many voters rank climate as their least important issue (35 percent) versus their most important (19 percent).”
“Americans face a myriad of important issues when casting their ballot,” Milloy said. “Climate change is not one of them.”
