Gallup released a survey in which Americans answered whether they felt the protection
of the environment or the growth of the economy should be given a higher
priority. Since 2009, Americans
have placed a higher priority on economic growth. Though that gap was at its highest with an 18 percent
difference in early 2011, Americans still favor economic growth over
environmental protection by a 49% to 41% margin. Until the recession hit in 2007, most Americans prioritized
environmental protection, but as the economy weakened, the difference shrunk.
Beginning in 2009, more Americans favored improving the economy before
protecting the environment. This
trend is remarkably new. Before
the recession, Americans clearly prioritized the environment over economic
growth; in 1991, the difference was 51% in favor of the environment. That gap narrowed during the new
millennium. The BP oil spill in
2010 raised more concerns about the environment, but this trend was
short-lived. Among the political
parties, 66% of those who are registered Republicans will prioritize economic
development compared to just 27% favoring environmental protection. On the other hand, 50% of Democrats
still prioritize the environment over economic growth.
