| 摘要 | Read the PDF President Donald Trump recently issued an executive order scaling back federal regulations on climate change. In the April issue of AEI’s Political Report, we look at what Americans think about climate change and environmental and energy concerns. We also examine views on tax reform, a potential future agenda item for the administration and Republicans in Congress, and we take the public’s temperature on health care policy. Concerns about global warming and beliefs that it is happening, that it will pose a threat, and that it is caused by human activity are at all-time highs (Gallup), and 63 percent of registered voters in a survey taken before Trump issued his executive order said he should not remove specific regulations intended to combat climate change (Quinnipiac). Still, overall, “dealing with global warming” ranks near the bottom of Americans’ priorities for the president and Congress (Pew). More Americans say they worry a great deal about the quality of the environment (47 percent) than about the availability and affordability of energy (27 percent) (Gallup). Support for the Keystone XL pipeline has been declining recently, and today, opinion is narrowly divided about it (48 percent opposed, 42 percent in favor). Opinion is similar on the Dakota Access pipeline. (Pew). The public, while usually more supportive than opposed to tax reform in 1986, was not especially engaged in the issue at the time. As in 1986, tax reform isn’t a top priority for Americans now, but efforts to get the economy moving are. In recent months, public opinion on the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) has grown slightly more positive, although Americans remain closely divided about it (Pew, Kaiser, and CBS). Americans are more supportive of making changes to or repealing and replacing the law than they are of keeping the law as it is or repealing it entirely. In a March Harvard-Harris poll, 51 percent of those who had heard about the proposed legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare said the proposed law sounded like a step backward; 26 percent said it sounded like an improvement.
