Two-thirds of Americans say they’re at least somewhat concerned about climate change, a new HuffPost/YouGov poll finds, with 42% describing themselves as “very concerned.” The “very concerned” number marks an uptick from 2017. In June of that year, just after President Donald Trump announced his plans to pull the United States out of the Paris climate change agerement, only a third said they were very concerned about climate change. The most recent poll was conducted as protesters around the world geared up for marches ahead of the United Nations’ upcoming climate summit. Eighty-eight percent of Democrats now say they’re at least somewhat concerned and 65% that they’re very concerned. By contrast, 52% of Republicans say they are at least somewhat concerned, with just a quarter saying they’re very concerned. But the poll also finds a significant generational divide within the GOP: 69% of Republicans under age 45 describe themselves as at least somewhat concerned about climate change, compared to just 38% of those age 45 and older. There’s not a similar difference based on age among Democrats. Sixty-one percent of Americans say the U.S. should take a global leadership role in trying to prevent climate change, while just 20% say it should not. However, only about a quarter think the U.S. currently is taking such a leadership role, while half say it’s not. Only 23% say the U.S. has done more than most other countries to address climate change, with 35% saying it’s done less, 23% that it’s done as much as other countries, and the remainder that they’re unsure. Among registered voters, 65% say the issue will be at least somewhat important to their vote in the next presidential election, with 42% saying it’ll be very important. Democrats have an edge on the topic: 48% of voters say they trust the party more to handle climate issues, compared to 34% who trust the Republicans.

Here’s a look at some other recent polling on climate change and the environment: • Most American teenagers “are convinced that humans are changing Earth’s climate and believe that it will cause harm to them personally and to other members of their generation,” according to a new Washington Post-Kaiser Family Foundation poll. Roughly a quarter of 13-to-17-year-olds say they’ve taken action on climate change, either by participating in a walkout or rally, or by writing to a public official. A majority say climate change makes them feel “afraid” and “angry,” but also “motivated.” • A 57% majority of
