The linked report offers findings about how supporters of some of the recent presidential candidates–Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Bernie Sanders, and Donald Trump–view global warming, how those views will affect their vote in the 2016 elections, and how they think citizens and government should address global warming.

[The report was prepared prior to Ted Cruz’s (R) suspension of his presidential campaign. Mr. Cruz’s supporters are the most likely to think climate change is not happening.]
