Only about 7 percent of likely voters have not yet decided whether they will support Barack Obama or Mitt Romney in the 2012 election, a new national survey finds. But on the topic of climate change, at least, these undecideds look more like Obama supporters than Romney voters.

Undecided voters are more likely than Romney voters to see climate change as an important issue, and their desire for government action approaches levels seen in Obama voters. What's more, undecideds are as likely as Obama supporters to believe that global warming is happening and that humans are causing it.

"We were surprised to look at how undecided voters broke on this issue, that they were much more similar to Obama voters than they were to Romney voters," study researcher Anthony Leiserowitz, the director of the Yale University Project on Climate Change Communication, told LiveScience.

2. It would be nice if our President supported our concerns about Climate Change

I have not heard even a mention of Global Warming or Climate Change for over a year now. I was somewhat disappointed there was no talk about action during the Convention, but President Obama seems to take us for granted. Some of us think this issue is important enough to hear about in the campaign.

3. I agree Obama could be doing much more, but it was mentioned at the Convention, and

Obama's science advisors have at least kept the issue on the agenda.
