Effective Messaging in 2020 on Trump’s Climate Record

A recent poll by CAP Action and the League of Conservation Voters surveys voters in battleground states on the issue of climate change in the 2020 election

A recent poll of battleground state voters by the Center for American Progress Action Fund and the League of Conservation Voters explores the issue of climate change in the 2020 election, particularly as it relates to messaging of President Donald Trump’s policies and views on the issue. The research—summarized in this memo—finds that attacks on President Trump’s climate record and a positive vision for addressing the issue are both salient to key groups of voters in the election.
