Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : "While Biden is cementing a legacy as the most pro-climate president, Trump would work to unravel the progress, focusing instead on America's fossil fuel "energy dominance," several people told CNN.
59% : "The IRA is much stickier," said Nate Hultman, director of the Center for Global Sustainability at the University of Maryland and a former senior advisor to the State Department.
55% : Leavitt said if Trump were elected, he would give the oil industry "more freedom," describing the planet-warming fossil fuel as "liquid gold" and (falsely) as "clean energy.""He will do that again as soon as he gets back to the White House," she added.
53% : Trump speaks at a rally on June 22 in Philadelphia.
51% : "Drill, drill, drill," Trump said on Fox News in February.
48% : The oil industry isn't happy with that, and Trump is capitalizing on it, fiercely courting the oil industry in private fundraisers, promising to dramatically increase the amount of federal lands and waters for drilling.
47% : By coming into office with a pro-oil agenda, would Trump be able to meaningfully increase US oil production?"No," said McNally.
43% : If Trump makes good on that idea, "we're in real, much deeper trouble than the challenges we already face," Kerry said.
42% : Trump has promised to undo the tailpipe rules if he is elected, though unwinding them could take months.
40% : California Gov. Gavin Newsom told CNN his state will continue "maintaining that leadership" regardless of whether Trump is elected president.
40% : What experts are more concerned about is the damage Trump could inflict again on US leadership on the global stage.
37% : But it's also based on what Trump has said himself.
36% : There are other ways Trump could delay the transition to EVs - some of which would hit voters' pocketbooks.
35% : He has railed against Biden's climate policies at rallies and derided clean energy, vowing to push America back to fossil fuels.
35% : The Project 2025 document from the Heritage Foundation recommends Trump should fully exit the United Nations treaty to confront climate change - a decision that would rock international climate negotiations and make it harder for a future Democratic administration to re-enter.
34% : Instead, Trump is poised to sprint in the opposite direction.
32% : "License to drillBiden and Trump both argue their energy policies would lower consumer costs and create jobs.
30% : David Paul Morris/Bloomberg/Getty ImagesBut there are some winds of change that Trump will likely need to bend to.
29% : The campaign has also sought to distance itself from outside groups like Project 2025, stating that no policy is official unless it is coming from Trump or his campaign team.
27% : "I don't care what Trump says or does," Newsom said.
22% : A senior Trump adviser told CNN there haven't been any serious discussions inside the campaign over whether Trump would go so far as to pull the US out of the treaty.
19% : "We lost a fair amount of time early in the Trump administration because we weren't as prepared as we would be for round two," Mandy Gunasekara, former chief of staff of the Environmental Protection Agency under Trump, told CNN.
18% : Trump and Republicans have seized on those actions as a "mandate" for EVs, which Trump has referred to as "all-electric nonsense where the cars don't go too far" and a "bloodbath" for American jobs.
16% : Biden's order to protect 13 million acres of the Alaskan Arctic could be undone if Trump wins in November.
9% : 'Much deeper trouble'Trump could gut some of Biden's pollution rules, but he'll have a much harder time killing Biden's biggest clean energy policy - a sweeping climate law even Trump's own party is benefitting from.
