Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter as a result of a stimulus indicating the organism is under stress. The stress is usually, but not necessarily, exogenous (e.g. temperature, humidity, ionizing radiation). (Gene Ontology, GO_0036003)
18 genes participating in the positive regulation of transcription from rna polymerase ii promoter in response to stress biological process from the curated GO Biological Process Annotations 2015 dataset.
