25. A proposal called "cap and trade" would allow the federal government to limit the emissions from industrial facilities such as power plants and factories that some people believe cause global warming. Companies that exceed the limit could avoid fines or higher taxes by paying money to other companies that produced fewer emissions than allowed. Would you favor or oppose this proposal? (ASKED OF HALF SAMPLE. RESULTS BASED ON 1014 INTERVIEWS IN VERSION B. SAMPLING ERROR: +/- 3 PERCENTAGE POINTS.)
- 44% Favor
51% Oppose
26. (IF FAVOR) Do you think the "cap and trade" proposal would reduce global warming, or do you think it would help reduce air pollution in general but would not affect global warming directly?
Questions 25 & 26 combined:
- 18% Favor, reduce global warming
23% Favor, reduce pollution, not global warming
51% Oppose

Most of this 44 percent that actually support this bogus idea are your typical liberals who do not understand that it will raise there utility bills quite a bit.
Add this to the huge list of Obama supported policies that the majoirty of people oppose. Eventually opposition to so many of his views will catch up to him.
