How Large Does A Majority Need To Be...

before Democrats in Congress start listening? The June 17, 2008 Rasmussen Reports tells us the results of a recent survey of Americans:

Most voters favor the resumption of offshore drilling in the United States and expect it to lower prices at the pump, even as John McCain has announced his support for states that want to explore for oil and gas off their coasts.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey—conducted before McCain announced his intentions on the issue--finds that 67% of voters believe that drilling should be allowed off the coasts of California, Florida and other states. Only 18% disagree and 15% are undecided. Conservative and moderate voters strongly support this approach, while liberals are more evenly divided (46% of liberals favor drilling, 37% oppose).

Of course, the minority gets its way on this, because the millionaires and billionaires don't want their nice views obstructed, and that's who the Democrats represent.
