As midterms approach, some voters say climate change is more important than inflation in the long term (only 8.29 years left)

MILWAUKEE - Most voters in Wisconsin who spoke with Fox News said addressing climate change is more important than curbing inflation ahead of the November midterm elections.

"Climate change is going to affect our children, our children's children," Heather, from Green Bay, said.

But Matt, from Milwaukee, said he cares more about lowering inflation as he feels the impact of price hikes every day.

"It comes out of my pocket," Matt said. "I pay for that, and it's easy for me to pick out."

Nearly 80% of Democratic Wisconsin voters said climate change was the most concerning issue, an August Marquette University poll found. Inflation, which nationally hit a 40-year record-high of 9.1% in June, ranked sixth.

Climate change is "only going to get worse if we don't act on it now," London, from Milwaukee, said.

But 91% of Republican voters polled in the Marquette survey said inflation was their top issue. They rated climate change last.

"I really don't care about climate change," Matt said. "It's normal for temperature to change."

But Christian, from Milwaukee, said Americans need to think about potentially drastic climate changes ahead in the next few decades.

"If it's already at 100 degrees it's just going to go up from that," Christian said.

U.S. cities reached record-high temperatures over the summer, ranking as the third-hottest season in history. The extreme heat the Pacific Northwest experienced was a once-in-10,000 years event and was driven by climate change, a UCLA researcher found.

To find voters that believe climate change is an issue is not nearly as frightening as knowing there are people out there that are going to vote for beta in Texas.

Fox News had to go looking really hard to find those voters voters in Wisconsin who are more concerned with “climate change” than they are the economy. How many voters wake up in the morning and thinks, “Oh, I hope that climate change isn’t up too much today” versus those who think “I have to go to the grocery store today, I hope coffee prices haven’t increased again” while checking that bank balance to see if they can afford chicken wings for this weekend’s college football game get-together.

“some voters”

What’s that, 11 voters, that in a sane country wouldn’t be allowed to vote?

If this is true, it is insane and explains a lot.

It’s woke religion.

Now, now, now.....this is a northern, liberal university poll, so we know it’s not to be questioned, despite every other poll on important issues puts climate change outside the top ten.

Not in Milwaukee doncha know.

Climate change is one of these polling questions where a large number of respondents think it's a major issue that needs to be addressed but that the means to address climate change are wholly unpopular.

"I think we need to curb climate change."

"Would you be willing to pay a $2,000/month electric bill to curb climate change?"

"No."

Probably those “some voters” who live off of welfare and food stamps. “Some Voters” don’t pay a red cent to support themselves and their offspring.

Our population has been brain washed. When all this climate cr** started...with Gore...I remember Hillary saying that the object was to bring young voters into the fold.

And we know without a doubt that they indeed immediately infiltrated the schools with all kinds of terrible consequences of climate changes CAUSED BY MAN.
