Supporters of President Joe Biden overestimate the negative effects of climate change compared to the views of prevailing establishment science, a poll of likely voters by Rasmussen has shown.

A majority of the respondents who approved of Biden believed that humankind will “become completely or nearly extinct due to climate change” in the next 100 years if carbon dioxide emissions continue at the same volume as in the past decade.
