Is anyone surprised to discover comments, "actual feedback", to this 'poll' reported at Fox are closed on this pathetic piece of delusional AP propaganda?

Anytime a salesman says “it’s green,” or “carbon efficient,” I tell him he’s lost a sale.

Talquin Electric asked me to fill in a questionnaire. They supply electricity in competition to the city owned facility which is many times more expensive as the city uses it as a cash cow to support their green policies. It was full of questions like did I want them to support alternative fuels? Did I want them to be more active in the community and local politics to support social issues? I rated all of those as low as I can. Nowhere did it ask if the price of electricity was my biggest driver. Everything they discussed would have raised that price.

“a new poll from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and Yale University”

“Nearly half of Republicans said the U.S. should lead the global fight to curb climate change, even if it means taking action when other countries do not”

Yeah.....suuuuuure. (roll eyes)

Because if I need to know what half my fellow republicans want, yale, the ap, and norc (based in university of chicago), will always be able to tell me.

And I’ll bet the next thing theyll tell me that half of republicans also support abortion on demand, gun bans, higher taxes, bigger government, more borrowing and spending, etc.

In the UK currently. Every person I’ve met here seems to have bought the propaganda without question. Our future?

Carbon dioxide is NOT pollution! Plants live off it.

More than half of “Republicans” voted for Mitt Romney in the primaries and caucuses. There you go.

Polls made to drive an agenda. Perhaps they should have said that 89.8% of hard-core conservatives believe strongly in carbon limits, wish to see all guns banned, and want all restraints taken off the EPA.

Oh, and 107.3% of hard-core conservatives believe we should triple the Federal outlay on entitlement programs. We believe the money can come from the military, but we're willing to borrow the rest.

Hey, why not, AP. Go for broke.

The poll amounted to asking the opinion of the AP, the University of Chicago (NORC), and Yale.

Low credibility.

NORC is used mostly by government agencies to support their budget increase requests. “See! See! Americans *want* a bigger government!”

First...carbon dioxide is NOT a pollution. If it were, every living thing is guilty of it. So stop living!

Phrase the question a little differently, and you will get a different response...

“Would you support carbon limits if it meant a 50% increase in electric rates?”

support regulation of carbon dioxide pollution

So 6 in 10 people support regulation of pollution? What a shock. I'm surprised 10 in 10 people don't support regulation of "pollution." Its like asking if you support laws to prevent murder and rape. The poll is meaningless.

Plenty of Republicans want to get their hooks into these corrupt carbon trading markets.

Wording bias:

If you ask whether people “support regulation of carbon dioxide pollution”, they are more likely to favor government intrusion into yet another area. If you ask whether people “support regulation of carbon dioxide”, without the loaded word “pollution”, they are more likely to respond sensibly.

I wish big government liberals would contemplate their view of the dangers of CO2, and pair that thought with the fact that every time they exhale they are releasing CO2 into the atmosphere they share with polar bears and baby seals.

Surprised? Nope.

I did notice that Faux News won’t credit any AP reporters by name; in this case, it’s Dina Cappiello. And FWIW, the AP Big Story page for this article is accepting Disqus comments for now.

I also find it funny that sample polling by Gesellschaft für Konsumforschung (GfK) could ever be designed to be “representative of the US population” in any capacity.

I back carbon limits for China.During my several visits there (a couple having occurred in the last couple of years) I can report that the air there,even on the clearest day you’ll see,is so disgustingly dirty as to be absolutely inexcusable.The best day I’ve seen there has been far,*far* worse than the worst day I’ve ever seen in LA,NYC,London,Germany or Japan.
