Gallup Poll Shows Americans Split on Fracking, 40-40%

摘要

A Gallup poll conducted earlier this month found that Americans are evenly split on hydraulic fracturing (fracking), with 40% in support of the practice, 40% opposed, and 19% with no opinion. The poll was performed March 5-8, before the U.S. Department of Interior issued its long-awaited rule for fracking on public and tribal lands (see Shale Daily, March 20). The announcement rankled industry and some environmental groups alike.
