What Do Americans Think Of The Keystone Pipeline?

Here are three places to express your own opinion online:

1

Going back a ways: CNN did a poll in December 2014 that showed that the construction of the pipeline was favored by a 2 to 1 majority.

A month earlier Pew did a poll that produced similar numbers.

 

Yet another 2 to 1 plurality taken at about the same time.

 

From March 2015, most Americans are not familiar with the Keystone Pipeline.

 

 

From September of this year, we have an API (American Petroleum Institute) poll that shows 68% of Americans support the Keystone XL.

 

Do we really need to conduct polls to gauge public sentiment on this one? The disapproval is palpable. The only people who support the oresident are those with "Bernie" bumper stickers on their Priuses.

 

Once more, this administration's instinct to rule against the will of the people will bear strange fruit. Obama's decision to kill the pipeline will not bode well for the Democrats in 2016. If the Dems had more seats to lose, we might see another wave election.
