Two-thirds of registered voters said they are "very" or "somewhat" concerned about “climate change and the impact it’s having on the U.S. environment.” Only 26% of respondents said they were “not too concerned” or “not concerned at all.” Half of Republican respondents were concerned about climate change, while 44% were not. There was an even split among those who voted for Trump in last year’s general election, with 47% worried and the same number not. 

38% of respondents said they believe Trump’s executive order (calling for a review of the Clean Power Plan and ending an Obama administration moratorium on new coal mining leases on federal land) would help the economy, while 28% said it would hurt the economy, and 20% said it would not make much difference. The rate is similar for independents, but nearly double the number of Republicans (62% believe the order would help the economy. 54% of respondents believe the order would hurt the environment, more than quadruple the number who said it would help the environment. (Another 22% said it wouldn’t matter either way.) But among Republicans, less than a third (31%) believe it would hurt the environment and about a fifth think Trump’s order to reduce rules on emissions would actually help the environment.
