In a twist that surely has President Joe Biden scratching his head, it seems his whopping $1 trillion climate agenda isn’t exactly hitting the right notes with battleground state voters. According to a snazzy new polling report from The Wall Street Journal, only a measly 2% of registered voters in key states like Arizona, Georgia, and Michigan think climate change is the hottest topic for the upcoming 2024 election. It appears people are more fired up about immigration (25%) and the economy (22%) than they are about Biden’s eco-friendly crusade.
Now, Biden and his merry band of green warriors have been blasting their climate agenda from the rooftops, boasting it as the bee’s knees of environmental policy wizardry. They even call it “the most ambitious climate, conservation, and environmental justice agenda” in all of U.S. history! But it seems like voters are just not picking up what they are putting down.

The Wall Street Journal did a deep dive into the minds of 2,100 registered voters in states like Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania — those pivotal seven states that could make or break Biden’s re-election dreams. And guess what? The pollsters found that climate change ranked as low as a limbo stick at a beach party. It’s clear that Americans are more concerned about keeping their wallets fat and the borders secure than they are about Biden’s green dreamland.
Let’s talk dollars and cents, folks. Biden’s star-spangled climate bill, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), comes with a hefty price tag of about $1.2 trillion in subsidies for green energy. Yes, you heard that right — a cool trillion! And that’s just the tip of the melting iceberg. The administration is going all-in on electric vehicles, reshaping the power grid, and cozying back up to the Paris Climate Accords like a long-lost lover. But all this spending and regulating doesn’t seem to be winning over the hearts of voters.
On the flip side, while voters may be giving Biden’s eco-agenda the cold shoulder, environmentalist groups are tossing him their eco-friendly confetti. They love what he’s doing, often only nudging him when they feel he could be even greener. It’s like a never-ending game of “Green Light, Red Light” with these guys! With their big bucks and passionate supporters, these green groups stand ready to boost Biden as the election countdown begins.
Now, it’s no surprise that the Biden campaign is keeping mum on this one. When your big splash in the climate pool is making less noise than a goldfish, maybe it’s best to stay quiet. But hey, at least they’re still in the game, even if it’s more like a slow stroll than a sprint.
In the grand scheme of things, it looks like Biden’s climate crusade might need a bit of a pep talk. So, will his green dreams wilt like a neglected houseplant, or will they blossom into something grand? Only time will tell, folks. Stay tuned for more eco-drama and political follies — it’s like reality TV, but with more wind turbines and fewer rose ceremonies.
