Women are smarter than men...

At least that's the conclusion I drew from a new poll released today by our friends at the Conservation Council of North Carolina and Public Policy Polling.

It shows that 62% of North Carolinians think global warming is a serious threat. But there's an enormous gender gap on the issue! 72% of women agree with that statement while only 49% of men do.

Gender gaps on various political issues and candidates are nothing new. But they're rarely this large!

The results of the poll are pretty heartening. North Carolinians do not want new coal. They are most supportive of developing solar and wind power sources.

It's an interesting poll, check out the full results here.
