A near-majority of U.S. voters support President Biden's move to shut down a major oil pipeline in the U.S., according to a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.
Biden on his first day in office signed an executive order revoking a key permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, a decision which has drawn criticism from industry leaders due to the potential major job losses in which it could result.
Yet a near-majority of voters – 46% – say they are supportive of that decision, while just 34% claim to be opposed to it.
The Keystone XL pipeline has been at the center of a political back-in-forth for over a decade, with the Obama administration first moving to block its construction and the Trump administration setting in motion its intended, and now apparently postponed, completion.
The pipeline project is an effort to brings crude oil from Canada to the refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast, to also decrease American dependence on foreign oil.
The survey of 1,200 registered voters was conducted by Rasmussen using a mixed-mode approach from Jan. 21-23, 2021.
Is it polls or is it elections?
If this poll has any accuracy whatsoever, we must have a whole lot of low-information people in this country.
Call me back when gas is 10 bucks a gallon
Probably only about 10% of the population even knows what this is.
Nothing out there is reliable today....still lots of dust in the air as the propaganda news machinery creates the stories.
Polling is fake and done to shape public opinion, not to measure it.
Near-majority of voters support Biden’s move to halt Keystone XL oil pipeline

Of course they do. They just love the idea of Warren Buffets trains with 250 oil cars rolling slowly through the heart of their towns, backing up traffic for miles and for hours and occasionally exploding, thereby reducing the town’s excess population.
A near majority would also like to win the lottery. So what?
They say the gas prices went up some as soon as the companies knew Biden was going to be President.
Americans: “Gosh, I just love those sky high gas prices.”
“Yeah, me too. A gallon of milk or a gallon of gas at the convenience counter. Brings back memories.”
Where is that gif of the hunger games girl rolling her eyes and saying “Sure, right”.
“””Polling is fake and done to shape public opinion, not to measure it.”””
I agree that polling is done to shape public opinion.
So has John Solomon joined the far side?
I was surprised to see this report on Just the News.
What it says is that a majority are opposed to stopping it.
The most fraudulent thing is that headline. Near majority = less than half
I will obey Jim’s moratorium on cussing as difficult as it can be at a time like this.
Technically, isn’t a “near majority” a minority?
Isn’t a “near-majority” an actual minority?
Plua, it's harder for the public to understand what to think when they've been indoctrinated by government schools and completely confused by a solidly leftist "Drive-by Media!'
Only to a leftist is 46 percent a near majority.
This is priming the pump as it were, mere propaganda.
Soloman is just reporting on a Rasmussen poll
A near majority? Oh, please. This is pure propaganda!
Okay....
How can a computer program answer a poll?
IOW - BOGUS!
