Just 10 percent in new poll have heard a lot about Biden climate action

Despite President Biden making climate change a central issue of his administration, only a small share of Americans in a new poll said they have heard a lot about his plans.

The CBS News/YouGov poll, released Monday, found that 45 percent of Americans said climate change is a very important issue. However, only 10 percent of respondents who think the issue is critical said they have either heard or read a lot about what the Biden administration has done to address it.

Nearly half who said climate change is important said they have not heard or have heard very little on what the Biden administration has done on the issue. Another 41 percent said they have heard some of what the administration has done.

Among those who believe climate change is important, 42 percent said Biden has done too little to address the issue. Roughly 26 percent said he has done the right amount and 4 percent said he has done too much, according to the poll.

And people have such short memories. When the Democratic controlled congress passed the climate and economic agenda it was a big f@cking deal. How soon we forget. What have you done for us lately, uncle Joe?

who takes pride in not getting into "politics" or not being beholden to either party. They especially seem to enjoy the "both sides are equally bad" narrative.
