Interestingly, this poll finds that most undecided voters believe global warming is happening:

Most undecided likely voters (80%) believe that global warming is happening, while only 3% say it is not happening – which is very similar to likely Obama voters (86% and 4%, respectively).

Undecideds are markedly different than likely Romney voters, fewer than half of whom believe global warming is happening (45%).

This new national survey found that 7% of likely voters remain undecided about whom they will vote for President. Voters are demanding information from candidates on how they plan to fight climate change. Given how close the election for president may turn out to be in key states, this should be a wake up call for the candidates to voice their plans.

Voters are also raising expectations for lawmakers to take action on climate change, as noted by The Hill’s Energy & Envronment blog:

Sixty-four percent of undecided voters believe Obama should be doing more to address climate change, and 72 percent say Congress should be doing more.

Courtesy of OpenSecrets.org, we can see polluters have already given more than $27 million to candidates for office this fall:

• Oil & Gas Industry: $13,036,908
• Electric Utilities: $12,173,516
• Coal Mining: $1,900,528

Polluters still have another 7 weeks before the November elections to add to these staggering totals. For comparison’s sake:

• Conservation Groups: $1,210,401
• Alternative Energy Industry: $704,481

Political scientists often mention a chicken-or-the-egg question when it comes to donations — do politicians support industry positions because those industries donate to them? Or do industries donate to politicians who are already supportive of their positions? Big polluters seem to have their bases covered no matter what.
