ecoAmerica Survey on American Opinions About Trump
|
|
|
Americans voted for President Trump to "Make America Great Again," but the prospects for climate progress will be challenged under his 100-day plan. To get an idea of the national sentiment, ecoAmerica's research team conducted an online survey asking about Trump's priorities and performance in his first two weeks on the job. Only nine percent of Americans think he should limit EPA actions on climate change. And only 31 percent think he's doing a good job so far. The results on Presidential priorities are below.
