Poll: Only 28% Agree With Obama’s Decision To Reject Keystone Pipeline, 57% Want It Built…
Via Washington Whispers:
President Obama is on the losing side of the fight over building the Canada-to-Texas Keystone oil pipeline, with most Americans in two new polls favoring construction even if it is an environmental threat.
Two new Rasmussen polls confirm GOP charges that Obama’s move last week was aimed at wooing liberal environmentalists irked at his first three years in office.
In one poll published Monday, Rasmussen found that 56 percent of likely voters at least somewhat favor the pipeline, with 36 percent strongly favoring it. Just 27 percent are opposed.
And in a new poll just out, Rasmussen found that even more, 59 percent, believe creating jobs is more important than protecting the environment, a sure sign of the economic plight in the nation. Just 29 percent say that the environment trumps jobs.

As always, governing AGAINST the will of the people.
this is what democracy looks like
The 28% still live in their parents basement……..
Govern with consent? Yeah, right. That’s old America, where the little people had a voice. Why the hell are there joint military exercises happening in Los Angeles? Is that something that happens frequently or what?
I wonder if we can recruit Jackson Browne to come out and bitch slap her for old times sake.
@Jimco George Soreass has admitted it’s going to get violent and ugly, perhaps he sent them there.
@Axel,
Soros and Obama setting up a little excuse for cracking down? Even if this is just an exercise, would it be a good idea to do it when we have a president that is making moves to set himself up as a dictator?
Just Obama doing what he does best; destroy America and rule against the people. Nothing to see here move on.
It doesn’t matter what the people want, it’s what China wants, and they want oil.
Wow, Daryl Hannah – bloated and irrelevant.
Is that the 28% of the 1% of the 99% that Octopi Wall Street and Beyond to protect their right to publicly defecate?
I still think that obama will find a way to weasel out and reverse his decision. He was just throwing the eco-freaks a pre-election bone, and will eventually figure out a way to let it go forward or at the very least, not stop efforts to get around his decision. He will then tell his sucker minions “I tried, but those mean old republicans…..blah,blah, blah” And they will buy it. LoL.
Polls are usless unless you take into consideration where the campaign contributions come from!
Environmentalist and Hollyweird contribute more – hence the decision goes in their favor. What’s the question?
Annoying hippies and granola munchers tree huggers and gaia worshipping pagan wackos RETURN TO YOUR HOLES UNDER THE STUMPS
I wonder how many of the 29% are gainfully employed in government positions or unions and how many don’t even know what Keystone is?
Do you think that Warren Buffet’s financial ties to the railroads that want to transport the oil to Texas had anything to do with BO’s decision?????? Especially since his private secretary gets to set next to Mocchie at the big state of the re-elect me speech tonite.??????
