A recent report suggests that increased partisanship has not benefited the environmental movement. Analysis of public opinion data from 1990 to 2021 indicates that while Democratic support for environmental spending remained steady, Republican support declined significantly, leading to flat or falling overall public opinion.

This trend suggests that partisanship has exacerbated the divide without increasing overall public engagement or support. AI
