I still think I'm right. I think climategate changed more than 12% of peoples minds. However, I can't prove it so until I can I'll admit I was off. Sorry. ;)
You're not getting away with that one, either.

"The survey of 1,000 U.S. Likely Voters was conducted on August 25-26, 2010 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence."

"Climategate" broke in November of 2009.

The article says "Most voters (62%) continue to regard global warming as a serious issue, but that number has trended down slightly since last November when the Climategate scandal broke, raising questions about the research and methodology of many pro-global warming scientists."

I took that as meaning the poll was done before. :gotme But then again, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.
