UT/TT Poll: Texans don’t see eye-to-eye on climate, health care or taxes

If you’re interested in the partisan divide in Texas, ask voters about climate change. Or health insurance. Or federal income taxes.

In the latest University of Texas/Texas Tribune Poll, 48 percent of registered voters said the U.S. government should be doing “a great deal” or “a lot” about climate change, 26 percent said it should be doing “a moderate amount” or “a little” and 21 percent said the government should be doing nothing. But 83 percent of Democrats agreed with strong government actions, while only 18 percent of Republicans did. …

The partisan splits were on full display in voters’ answers to a question about which health insurance system they would prefer. CONT.
