Though down a bit from the previous year, 44% of Americans worry a "great deal" about the environment, while 27% worry about it "only a little" and 28% not at all, according to a new Gallup Poll.
Last year the poll had found that 46% of those surveyed said they worried "a great deal" about the environment.
Here's how the rest of the results of the poll, released Tuesday, break down:
- 24% of Republicans say they worry a great deal about the environment.
- 56% of Democrats say they worry a great deal about it.
- 50% of independents say they worry a great deal about the environment.
- 59% of all those polled believe the environment as a whole is getting worse, compared to 35% who say it is getting better.
- 43% rate the overall quality of the environment as fair, compared to 39% who rate it as excellent or good. 18% rate it poor.
The poll, conducted March 1-18, surveyed 1,017 adults. The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points.
