U.S. (TGW) - Only 12% of Republicans are concerned about global warming, according to a new Pew Research Center poll.



That is 11% less than when the poll was conducted 1 year ago.



In contrast, 47% of Democrats view dealing with global warming as a 'top priority'. That is one less percent than last year.



Why so few concerned about global warming? The poll suggests many have serious concerns about what are perceived as immediate problems: the economy, the Iraq war and healthcare.
