Additional evidence that global warming hysteria is dying

From a Minnesota Public Radio News/Humphrey Institute poll published today:
Global warming was the most polarizing issue between people who identify with the Democratic and Republican parties. Just 1 percent of Republicans consider it an extremely important problem while 25 percent of Democrats do.
Here's another way to say that--according to this poll, at least 75% of both Republicans and Democrats agree that global warming is not an extremely important problem.

Update: The complete poll results are here, and they seem to indicate that the numbers in the first paragraph above should actually be 5 and 24, not 1 and 25:



Note also the graph's title: "Global Warming Fails to Warm Up Republicans". I'd say a more accurate title would be: "Global Warming Fails to Warm Up Republicans or Democrats".
