The survey by the Public Policy Institute of California shows
that California's likely voters trust President Obama over
Republican candidate Mitt Romney in handling global warming
issues.
The President polls 21 points ahead of Romney when it comes to
the issue.
But a majority of California voters also say the federal
government isn't doing enough to address global warming.
40-percent of Californians say global warming is a very
serious threat to the economy and quality of life while 26 percent
say it's somewhat serious.
71-percent support the state law requiring greenhouse gas
emissions reductions. That's up six percent from when it became law
in 2006.
The PPIC poll also looked at what voters think of California
Governor Jerry Brown. It found 46-percent approve of his job
performance, up just four percent since May
