(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-03-18)

I'm interested in data that reveals public opinion towards global warming in the US.

It'd be best to have a time dimension to it, but I'm interested in data from around the year 2000. Since it is quite a hot topic, I expect there to be much around this, but I couldn't find anything with *scientific standards* - say, anything beyond *political institution X / news channel Y asked 1000 and we are not even sure what the phrasing of the question was*.

**I am especially interested in data that includes an indicator for income/wealth.**

There's [this](http://www.pollingreport.com/enviro.htm) from Polling report showing raw survey data (question, sample data, and responses) back to 2012.

Additionally [this paper by Lorenzoni and Pidgeon](http://www.atmosp.physics.utoronto.ca/people/lev/ESSgc/lorenzoniPclimchng06.pdf) and [this paper by Leiserowitz](http://anthonyleiserowitz.com/pubs_assets/AmericanRiskPerceptions.pdf) (both 2005) discussing said data in a more academic context. You would need to do some substantial extrapolation to get time-series out of these though.
