A Stanford social psychologist claims his poll of 1,001 adults conducted in November 2010 shows that Republican candidates who take a “green” position on climate change gain far more votes from Democrat and Independent voters than they lose from Republican voters.
The “non-green” position included the statement that “climate science is junk science” and that “cap-and-trade is a job killer and damages our economy.”
The poll was funded by a September 2010 grant from the Obama administration’s National Science Foundation in the amount of $200,000.
Isn’t it nice that the Obama administration is trying to help Republicans get elected? Very post-partisan.
