If we want oil we have to drill for it. Here or elsewhere. Me, I prefer we use our own.

Zogby is no longer a legitimate pollster. Stories about Zog. polls should be generally ignored.

Zogby? Who is that? And what an odd name for a pollster.

Advertising executives have known for years... polls don't reflect reality, they reflect the success of advertising.

The news media knows, polls don't reflect reality, they reflect the success of their campaigns to brainwash people.

And...

One of the best ways to move a poll, is to publish a poll citing the opinion you want to reflect. It is called "the bandwagon effect". People join popular opinions...

I find it hard to understand why the average American is so clueless as to the relationship between our need for middle east oil and the war on terror.

The more leverage these countries that breed and harbor terrorist have over our need for oil, the more likely the war against them will be compromised.

Oil profits funds their radicalism and keeps us from using heavy handed tactics to achieve our objectives.

They need to hold off drilling for a year to allow me to establish residency in Alaska so then the Dividend Fund goes up and I'll be able to collect more money....lol

I wonder what % of Americans even know what the hell ANWAR is? I bet the questions were as loaded as Hillary's a$$.

I don't care if 100% are against it.

Bush needs to lead.

And drill.

Lexi Keogh, spokeswoman for the Alaska Wilderness League in Washington, D.C., said the poll results match earlier, independent polls, including a November 2002 poll by CBS News.

Well, CBS News, now that's compelling.

Compelling me to dismiss this Zogby propaganda.

The caribou and I say drill.

Let's see... A poll by a lefty pollster, commissioned by an environMENTAL group - why would anybody doubt the results?

I don't care whether they drill ANWAR as long as they drill and exploit the hundreds of years of oil that is in California first.

I wish I could replace all the natural gas that has been taken from the oil platforms and stopped most of the natural oil seepage in California so the beaches would be again awash in tar like they were 60 years ago and make the enviros scream for drilling to clean up the beaches!

Arctic Power hasn't done any recent polling, but past efforts have found that 55 percent of Americans aren't even sure what ANWR is, he said.

55 percent sounds low to me. 75 per cent wouldn't have surprised me. I recently read an article that told of an elementary school TEACHER who thought Alaska was an island because it is always appears that way on maps of the USA, like Hawaii does.
