Partisanship & Issues

Amid wide partisan divides over climate issues, conservative Republicans are especially skeptical of climate scientists' understanding and research.

Americans are divided in what they consider the most positive and negative attribute of the news media, and much of that divide follows party lines.

Reflecting a time of growing partisan polarization, Republicans and Democrats hold very different views on the impact of many of the nation's institutions.

Only 48% of voters say they know “a lot” about where Clinton stands on the issues facing the nation, while even fewer (41%) say this about Trump.

Nearly four-in-ten white evangelical voters who support Trump mention that they do so at least in part because he is not Clinton.

Overall, Americans with disabilities are engaged with the upcoming election, but they are less likely to turn out to vote as they face a number of obstacles to voting.

Only a slim minority thinks the news media’s coverage of Trump and Clinton is too tough, a view the public also held in previous general elections.

When it comes to who people plan to vote for, presidential approval is a much stronger indicator than satisfaction with the state of the nation.

The contest for president between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is marked by an educational divide that is far wider than in past elections.
