"The President Has Earned His Disadvantage On The Environment" - Biden Lead Biggest Of Any Issue

"The president has earned his disadvantage on the environment," said former Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.). "In many ways, the challenge of climate change is similar to the challenge posed to the world by the novel coronavirus. Climate change requires international cooperation, bold action, serious sober leadership, and the president doesn't do well in those scenarios."

Trump was 20 percentage points behind Biden on the environment, with 46% of respondents saying the former vice president would do a better job and 26% saying Trump was better, according to a poll released last week by Research Co. It was conducted as protests began across the country.

That suggests the candidates are further apart on the environment than on race relations (17-percentage-point difference), even though the survey was conducted as protests erupted in cities across the country. Forty-four percent of likely voters preferred Biden's handling of racial issues compared with 27% for Trump. Those findings echo a Morning Consult poll released last month. It found a 19-percentage-point gap between the candidates on the environment. The survey said it "dwarfs that of all other issues."

Since Biden became the presumptive Democratic nominee in March, he has led Trump on environmental issues by 17.2 percentage points on average, according to Morning Consult. That gap persisted as the biggest difference between the candidates through five Morning Consult polls conducted between March and May.

1. Anyone else get the fearful feeling that trump sees environmental regs and most regulations,

as something to sell?

Seems possible that these overturned regs, big and quite small ones, are the product of a lobby, writing what they want profitably done, sent to the 'right' WH staffer, who collects the 'campaign contribution', - trump sees the $ value, and signs whatever?
