A majority of Donald Trump supporters believe man-made climate change is happening, despite the presidential candidates history of global warming denial, a poll released Wednesday found.
The survey, conducted by the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication and the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication, found that 56 percent of people supporting Trump in the 2016 race think global warming is real. Among John Kasich voters, that percentage jumps to 71, while only 36 percent of Ted Cruzs supporters believe in man-made climate change. (Kasich and Cruz both left the presidential race after Indianas primary.)
Trump voters were also more likely to back a presidential candidate if he or she strongly supported addressing global warming.
Meanwhile, nearly all Democratic voters 93 percent of Bernie Sanders backers and 92 percent of Hillary Clinton supporters believe in global warming.
