The Yale Project on Climate Change Communication surveyed 1,010 adults and found that majorities in all three groups said they believed the Earth was getting warmer, although the number was much larger among Democrats (78 percent) and Independents (71 percent) than among Republicans (53 percent).
There was only one group in which the majority of voters said they did not believe in climate change: the Tea Party. Among Republicans who did not identify with the Tea Party, 53 percent said they believed in it. But among Tea Party supporters -- who were mostly but not exclusively Republicans -- that number was just 34 percent.
The lower your levels of education and intelligence, the less likely you are to believe in scientific facts.
