d'entre eux, l'environnement sera un facteur important de leur vote aux

Kerry,
Bush are poles apart about environmental issues
Statesman 22/06/04
"President Bush and Democratic Sen. John Kerry disagree about
nearly every major environmental issue. And their clash regarding
topics from clean air to wilderness protection could help
determine who wins battleground states in the race for the White
House.
“This is the Grand Canyon of issue differences,” said Bill
Lunch, a political scientist at Oregon State University. “Bush
and Kerry are more polarized on the environment than on just about
any other topic.”
Among their splits:
- Bush called on Congress to open the Arctic National Wildlife
Refuge to oil drilling. Kerry led the successful Senate fight to
stop it.
- Kerry voted to prohibit coal-mining companies from dumping waste
in rivers, lakes and streams. Bush lifted a ban on the practice.
- Bush has rejected an international treaty to reduce global
warming that Kerry helped negotiate.
Although no one thinks that the environment will be the top issue
in this year’s presidential race, it could influence the outcome
in such swing states as Oregon, Florida, Wisconsin and New Mexico.
The League of Conservation Voters — the political arm of the
nation’s major environmental groups — plans to spend about $6
million in those states to try to persuade voters to choose Kerry
instead of Bush.
A new poll of 1,000 Americans by Yale University showed that 84
percent of those questioned said that the environment will be a
factor in their vote in November. About 35 percent said the
environment will be a “major factor.”
“In an election that is tight, in a country where voters are so
evenly divided about who should be president, the mobilization of
any distinct group of people can make a big difference,” said
Mark Longabaugh, the League of Conservation Voters’ senior vice
president for political affairs. “There are 10 million members
of environmental groups across the country and millions more that
consider themselves environmentalists. We can help deliver votes
where it counts.”
