 action on climate change is high for all

  especially keen to see change: 77% of
women think the government should do
        more, compared to 69% of men.
  Voting record from the past elections
         also shows us something quite
 surprising: 75% of those who voted for
  Macron think the government should
do more, but 71% of Le Pen voters think

 Our data show that the need for more
  government efforts to tackle climate
      change is not seen differently by
     Macron or Le Pen supporters who
 broadly agree the government should
                              do more.
   It is worth noting that 11% of Le Pen
voters think the government should do
        less, compared to 4% of Macron
                             supporters.
