The Pew Research Center's March 2009 national survey on public policy attitudes, based on interviews with 1,308 adults, explores support for key issues amid economic concerns. The analysis highlights three main topics.

• Carbon Emission Caps: A majority (59%) favor limiting carbon dioxide emissions and imposing costs on companies, even with potential higher energy prices. Democrats show stronger support (70%), higher among liberals and college graduates. Republicans are divided, with conservatives less supportive. Educational background and gender (women more supportive) play roles.

• Gays in the Military: Support remains consistent at 59% for allowing openly gay service members, unchanged since 2005. Liberal Democrats (79%) lead in support, while there are significant religious and gender differences. Women are more supportive than men.

• Renewing US-Cuba Ties: A narrow majority (52%) supports re-establishing diplomatic relations. College graduates are more likely to favor this than those with less education. Democrats and liberals show higher support, contrasting with conservative Republicans. Russia數據動態.
