Is it really "huge"? Some links to polling data might help here otherwise I would also be reticent to proclaim that it's comparable to climate denial-ism. After all, we have a president that has publicly proclaimed climate change to be a hoax and sitting members of congress that eagerly attack climate scientists on their research [1].

That same president has of course also publicly proclaimed vaccines to cause autism. He and his tens of millions of followers are the antithesis of the liberal soccer mum, of course.
