"With less than a month until Election Day, roughly half of registered voters say climate change is either “very important” or “one of the most important issues” in their vote for Congress, according to a recent Washington Post-ABC News poll.
As Republicans work to wrest control of the House and Senate from Democrats, the results are divided along party lines. Among adults, roughly 8 in 10 Democrats (79 percent) say climate change is at least very important in their vote, compared with 46 percent of independents and 27 percent of Republicans.
Similar shares of voters of all ages say global warming is a priority at the ballot box. That's a change from previous polls that have shown younger Americans worry more about Earth's rapid warming, which is more likely to affect them in the form of raging wildfires, rising seas and stronger storms."
