Results of the survey released by the National Wildlife Federation show that 82 percent of voters and 80 percent of Independents questioned support the U.S. government increasing investment in clean energy sources.

A lower percentage, but still a strong majority, support curbing greenhouse gas emissions.

The poll shows that 67 percent of voters and 67 percent of Independents, support the U.S. government limits on emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that may cause global warming.

"The American people can't be more clear when it comes to solving global warming: they want the U.S. to be Rudolph out in front of the sleigh, leading the world toward a clean energy future," said Jeremy Symons, senior vice president of NWF.

"There is overwhelming public support for the Senate to pass legislation with firm limits on carbon pollution that will stimulate massive new investments in clean energy technologies," Symons added.

The survey also showed that the majority of respondents believe global warming is happening despite recent controversies surrounding emails among climate scientists, though there is a strong partisan divide.
