GET ME REWRITE: Meet the participants of OSU climate change study

 

Headline:  NPR, 6/24/2022
Media coverage of climate change can influence Americans to adopt more accurate beliefs about the environment, but the information doesn't stay with them for long, according to a new report. 
After reading accurate articles about climate change, Americans may see it more as a problem that impacts them and lean toward supporting the government's climate change policies. 
"It is not the case that the American public does not respond to scientifically informed reporting when they are exposed to it," said Thomas Wood, one of the study's authors and an associate professor of political science at The Ohio State University. 
But those changes are quickly reversed when participants are exposed to articles that doubted climate change.
Sounds sort of fill in the blank to Retiring Guy


GET ME REWRITE: Even with Tim Michels in Wisconsin governor's race, Don T. Know holds leads in GOP primary poll

 

HeadlineWisconsin Public Radio, 6/23/2022

The most revealing outcome of this particular poll:
Kleefisch, who declared her candidacy in September 2021, was the first Republican to announce a bid to challenge Democratic Gov. Tony Evers in November. Of the GOP likely voters surveyed, 26 percent said they would vote for her[emphasis added]
The GOP establishment, Scott Walker-endorsed candidate has been unable to gain any traction since she announced her candidacy 9 months ago.

The clock is ticking.
Among Evers' potential GOP challengers in the closely watched reelection campaign this year, the new poll found 30 percent of Republicans support former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch; 8 percent support former U.S. Marine and conservative activist Kevin Nicholson; and 5 percent support Rep. Timothy Ramthun. That leaves 54 percent of Republican voters who hadn't made up their minds. 
Pollster Charles Franklin said in part, these numbers reflect the simple fact that many voters haven't yet tuned in to the August primary contest.
