I’d like to see the number higher, but at least there’s more smart than dumb in American views of global warming:
Forty-four percent (44%) of U.S. voters now say long-term planetary trends are the cause of global warming, compared to 41% who blame it on human activity.
Seven percent (7%) attribute global warming to some other reason, and nine percent (9%) are unsure in a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.
Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Democrats blame global warming on human activity, compared to 21% percent of Republicans. Two-thirds of GOP voters (67%) see long-term planetary trends as the cause versus 23% of Democrats. Voters not affiliated with either party by eight points put the blame on planetary trends.
What I’m surprised about is that it seems something like four in ten Democrats are smarter than Al Gore…this bodes well for our new RNC chairman to reach out to Democrats…if we get all smart Republicans and all smart Democrats on our side, then we’ll have an unbeatable majority…plus a minority which will be so dumb that our entertainment will come from playing transparent practical jokes on them…
