North American Divide Widens Over Climate BeliefsA March 2026 poll reveals a 15-point gap in views on human-caused climate change between Canadians and Americans.
- Fewer than half of Americans accept climate change as real and mainly human-driven, compared to nearly two-thirds of Canadians.
- The opinion gap between the countries has grown steadily since 2020, increasing from seven to fifteen percentage points.
- Political affiliation heavily impacts climate change beliefs, with Democrats and Liberals showing stronger agreement than Republicans and Conservatives.
- Most respondents in both countries agree that governments, corporations, and citizens should intensify efforts to combat climate change.
Sizeable majorities of Democrats in the United States (67 per cent) and Liberal Party voters in Canada (81 per cent) think climate change is real and human-made. The proportions drop drastically among American Republicans (34 per cent) and Canadian Conservatives (44 per cent).— Mario Canseco, president of Research Co., commenting on poll results about cross-border climate views.
