New polling out today from Pew Environment Group:

A large majority of voters in Ohio think global warming poses a serious threat (60%).
A vast majority, across all demographic groups, favor the United States taking action to reduce carbon emissions that cause global warming (70%).
Overall, a large plurality believe that reducing global warming will create new American jobs (47%).
Over two-thirds support a combined proposal to reduce emissions and require clean energy sources (68%).
More than half of voters (59%) would feel more favorable about their member of Congress if they voted for a clean energy plan and an emissions cap (53%).
