Americans oppose the climate change bill that just passed the House - or, at least what they know of it - by 41 percent to 37 percent with 22 percent not sure, and a plurality believe it will hurt the economy, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll conducted June 28-29.

The National Republican Congressional Committee sent out a fundraising pitch today pointing to a study by the conservative Heritage Foundation saying the legislation would cost the average family nearly $3,000 per household per year.
