70% Disagree With Obama – Favor Increased Access to Oil and Gas Resources

◼ What America is Thinking on Energy Issues - 70 percent of voters favor more oil and natural gas development - API

Seventy percent of American voters favor increased access to U.S. oil and natural gas resources, and similar numbers believe more oil and natural gas development would provide major benefits to the nation, including more U.S. jobs, according to ◼ a new poll released today. (PDF)

"Voters know developing more of America's homegrown energy makes sense for our economy and our energy security," said API President and CEO Jack Gerard. "Our economy will demand large amounts of oil and natural gas for at least several more decades even as the role of alternative energy increases. Common sense says we should have Americans producing that oil and gas here at home as much as possible."
