POLL: Public Supports Cap and Trade
Public Supports Cap and Trade

An Ipsos Public Affairs survey finds that 52% of respondents support a cap and trade plan, similar to that working through Congress, with 41% opposing the measure.

The poll also finds that messaging is make or break for the initiative: Support drops to 43%, with 55% opposed, when cap and trade raises monthly electrical bills by $25, but support jumps to 60%, with 36% opposed, when that same spike in prices accompanies the creation of "a significant number of 'green' jobs."

1. Wow, this is amazing given everything the right has thrown against this
The same goes for our health care reform. The Kerry/Boxer positioning really looks good from this as they are making the case, as Kerry even did every day in 2004 (and CSPAN alone seemed to cover it) as a green jobs gain, cleaner air and water, and less dependence on an unstable Middle East.
