Granted, I've forgotten most of the shit I needed to know to earn my degree in Sociology (I blame self-inflicted brain damage), so I conducted a brief refresher and this was stumbled across.

So with this in mind, let's revisit.
I guess I'm back to thinking your single, one-sided polling question is unlikely to capture the entirety of where stated public sentiment and reality merge.
Again, I'm not working towards a degree in sociology, which is something you are the second person today to fuck up.
I enjoin you to show where I posed a specific question pertaining to a specific poll. The fact remains, if you ask people plain questions, in English, and they routinely fall overwhelmingly on one side of the issue, across countless polls posing countless distinct questions. The Trump admin in no way reflects the public in their environmental policy. Anyone who is not willfully stupid or craven would take the obvious position, and luckily the vast majority of Americans, save policymakers, agree on these issues.
