The most recent Gallup poll finds three in four Americans are angry with the recent increase in gasoline prices and they are blaming the oil companies and the Bush administration.

By a wide margin, Americans say they trust the Democrats in Congress more than the Republicans to deal with rising gasoline prices.

Americans, according to the poll, favor a series of actions to address the issue including price controls but are more likely to oppose than favor the idea of offering consumers a $100 gas rebate.

Seventy-five percent of Americans say they are "angry" about the recent increase in gas prices. <snip>

3. Crude went down $5.00 a barrel and Bush gas pricves stay at $2.95?

when it went up from $70.00 to $75.00+ the gas prices continued to soar right up there...it drops 5 bucks within a week and there's no change? -- sorry this is sponsored/endorsed by our goverment!
