Despite concerns about climate change, increased domestic oil and gas production is favored by a majority of voters in key “battleground” states in this year’s presidential election.
That’s according to Rasmussen Reports.
The new survey conducted by Rasmussen Reports and the Heartland Institute finds that 63% of likely voters in six battleground states say they would support a law that would reduce gasoline and energy prices by dramatically increasing oil and gas drilling in the United States, including 44% who say they would “strongly support” such a law.
Only 29% say they would oppose a law to boost U.S. oil and gas drilling.
Support for increased domestic fossil fuel production remains high even though 51% of battleground-state voters say they believe Earth is experiencing a dangerous level of climate change.
Thirty-six percent (36%) say they don’t think climate change is at a dangerous level and 13% say they are not sure.
“The majority of likely voters from battleground states want to see a dramatic increase in domestic oil and gas production in order to fix the energy crisis. It’s notable that even among Democrats, who are the group most concerned about climate change, 44 percent say they strongly or somewhat support increasing drilling.”

And yet anti-Trump Garbage Fox “News” would have everyone believe that Harris and Trump are tied in Pennsylvania and Michigan, with Trump up by only 1% in Wisconsin while Harris is up by 6 % in Minnasota:

Lying is good for anti-Trump Garbage Fox’s ratings as it steadily moves toward being just another democrat MSM source of Fake News.
I believe that “climate change” is a crock. It is being pushed by “elites” who believe they can control the rest of us, using the use of fossil fuels and the burning of them, warming the atmosphere, causing the “climate change”.
