Wildlife Promise:

But a new poll released by the National Wildlife Federation is revealing that Swifthack has failed to move the needle with voters…

… Among those who said they had read or seen something about the stolen emails, 53% said it did not affect their view at all. The remainder was largely split — 26% said it made them less likely to support the U.S. taking action to reduce global warming while 20% said it made them more likely to support action.

Even a harshly framed attack about the emails failed to influence voters in any significant way … 63% still say they believe global warming is happening.

Here are the full results of the poll:
