Abstract

In Climate Insights 2024: Americans Understanding of Climate Change, we showed that huge majorities of Americans believe that the earth has been warming; that this warming is due to human activity; and that governments, businesses, and individuals should take steps to address it. In Climate Insights 2024: American Climate Policy Opinions, we described how large majorities of Americans favor various policies for mitigating future global warming. Yet, these mitigation policies cannot be achieved without many Democrats, Independents, and Republicans agreeing.In this report, we assess the degree to which Democrats, Independents, and Republicans agree on various aspects of climate change and climate change policy in 2024. We then use data from prior surveys in our series to track changes in the partisan gap over the past two decades.In recent years, American partisans have been contemptuous of their opponents. According to a national survey conducted by Gallup in 2023, many more Democrats than Republicans held an unfavorable view of the Republican Party (93 percent vs. 13 percent). Likewise, many more Republicans than Democrats viewed the Democratic Party unfavorably (95 percent vs. 7 percent) (Saad 2023).
