Unfortunately the new polls show 41% still oppose offshore drilling and Anwar drilling. The anti-drilling crowd isn’t going to get overthrown till gasoline goes up a lot more. Start thinking 5.50-6.00 gas. Even then the dems will control congress, and most won’t budge for anything.
I am of the opinion that polls can be rigged to cater to any agenda. If there was a way to cast a vote at the gas pump, involving the consumer directly rather than the special interest do as I say crowd, I think the consumer paying the bill would be overwhelmingly in favor of drilling anywhere and everywhere.
Polling that caters to tree huggers in wording and conclusion is misleading. Just because they allegedly consume less energy gives them no authority over the actual consumers of energy. America does use the most energy per capita worldwide. But Americans are the most productive nation per capita. Take away our energy and we lose our productivity.
