New polling by Harstad Strategic Research, Inc. finds strong support for the proposed EPA carbon pollution reduction standards (aka, the "Clean Power Plan"). That includes a nearly 8:1 majority of Democratic primary voters, so don't even think about seeking the Democratic nomination if you're wrong on this issue. It also includes 68% of voters in Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire and...Virginia. In short, this is a classic case of good policy AND good politics, which means that any politician opposed to the Clean Power Plan isn't the brightest bulb on the block.
