70% of voters think that economic policy can lower costs while directly reducing emissions.

55% of voters say they want elected officials to address the climate crisis and rising cost of living through coordinated policies.

Nationally, polling by @dataforprogress.org shows that the majority of voters want their elected officials to address the climate and cost of living crises together—and they believe it is possible. (4/10)

MAHA Lacks a True Base and Voters Reject Its Real-World Impact While many voters say they support its general goals, very few identify with the MAHA movement itself, and around 1 in 3 outright reject it.

We also find that the most effective criticisms of RFK Jr. focus on health care costs, corporate greed, and cuts to Medicaid and medical research.
