Nearly 6 in 10 Oppose Trump’s Decision to Withdraw from Paris Agreement

Business leaders, national security officials, and public health experts all support a global response to climate change – and so do the American people. A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows that 59% of Americans oppose Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement. From the Washington Post:

“Most Americans oppose President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, with a majority saying the move will damage the United States’ global leadership, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.” 

“Opposition to Trump’s decision outpaces support for it by a roughly 2 to 1 margin, with 59 percent opposing the move and 28 percent in support.”

“The survey also finds broad skepticism toward Trump’s argument that leaving the Paris agreement will benefit the U.S. economy.”
