The public’s level of concern about climate has generally been steady this year but Biden’s approval on the issue has declined, in large part due to a drop among Democrats. In advance of President Joe Biden’s arrival at COP26, the share of voters that “strongly” approve of his administration’s handling of climate change had shrunk to 17% from its peak of 25%; this is driven largely by a drop among Democrats, from 46% to 32%. In another recent national tracking poll conducted by Morning Consult with POLITICO, more Democrats said that passing a climate bill should be a “top priority” for Congress (59%) than any other type of legislation besides stimulating the economy to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic (66%).
