An interesting poll on climate change from Yale University has been released. This poll, based on data collected in the USA, shows a number of things, perhaps the most interesting being that people who believe in climate change themselves is 63%, whilst those who believe there is scientific consensus on it is 41%.
Data shows responses to a number of climate related questions at the national, state, congressional district and county level.

If you are going to ask someone's opinion on something, wouldn't it be useful to know that his knowledge of the topic is less than zero?
...but, since pollsters never publish the questions they ask (and only their interpretation of the questions and answers), that may be asking a lot.
...and to think that pollsters don't ask leading questions is pretty naive.
(There's a great episode of "Yes, Minister" where Sir Humphrey explains the subject to Jim using an example.)
