Methodology: To generate the state-level data, Professor Krosnick and Stanford University Visiting Scholar Bo MacInnis combined the results of the best national surveys over the past decade of Americans’ opinions about climate change. This large dataset gave Krosnick and MacInnis sufficient data to estimate public opinion in 46 states. Their methodology made statistical adjustments to account for differences in survey methodologies and changes in public opinion over time.
Note: Data not available for Alaska, Hawaii, North Dakota, Wyoming, and the District of Columbia. Questions without adequate survey responses are marked with "n/a."
