The Yale data I posted show that a majority of Americans are worried about global warming. Compared to the risk that the presidency of Donald Trump poses to the future of the United States, it may not rate high among all concerns. And, again, these opinion threads have ZERO to do with whether or not AGW is a valid theory.
Did you bother to read all the questions in the surveys? They center around a
SINGLE ISSUE, thus misleading and dishonest.
The way they made the survey was to make it appear that there is a big concern, when there is only one class of questions asked,
all of it on climate change only.
Here are a few much better surveys showing that global warming is a
common bottom dweller worry, when they are part an
open field of question concerns to answer other than just climate change concerns:

Who's Afraid Of Global Warming?
"Here's a list of 19 public priorities that Pew asked about in the January poll. Dealing with climate change ranked next to last. Fighting terrorism was first. The "other" category includes priorities that are opposed or considered not important."

Polls show most Americans believe in climate change, but give it low priority
"Last month, nearly half of Americans (48%) rated global climate change as a major threat — well behind concerns such as the militant group ISIS (67%), Iran’s nuclear program (59%) and North Korea’s nuclear program (57%). In an
international survey of 39 publics last year, Americans were among the least concerned about climate change threatening their country.
Global warming also ranked near the bottom of Americans’ 2014 priorities for President Obama and Congress (28% said it was a top priority). Similarly, when asked last November about
long-range foreign policy goals, 37% named global climate change as a top long-range goal; by comparison, 83% cited guarding against terrorist attacks and 81% named protecting American jobs as top goals."
