Those CNN poll results in full:

It's been cited a lot, so I thought I'd dig it out.
From http://www.pollingreport.com/energy2.htm

CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll. Oct. 16-18, 2009. N=1,038 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3.

"Under a proposal called 'cap and trade,' the federal government would limit the amount of greenhouse gases that companies could produce in their factories or power plants. If companies exceeded those limits, they would either pay a fine or pay money to other companies that produced smaller amounts of greenhouse gases. Would you favor or oppose this proposal?"

Favour: 60%
Oppose: 37%
Unsure: 3%

Yup, that's it.

Now, If you're after the poll on energy sources, that's actually from ABC & WaPo: You'll find the results at http://abcnews.go.com/images/PollingUnit/1093a4Energy.pdf which carries an analysis with it. Be warned, though, the analysis is a little more complicated than "52=52 therefore the nuke nuts like coal"

Enjoy.

1. is this from England? or Canada?

Don't we spell favor without the 'u'?

2. This is an Englishman in NZ

(Sorry)

I try to use American English when the word is completely different (Sidewalk vs pavement, cookie vs biscuit, gas vs petrol etc) but refuse to do the spelling.

Not deliberately, anyway. ;)

3. I just learned that 'pants' and 'trousers' have different meanings

thank you 'A Bit of Fry and Laurie'.

4. And be *really* careful with "fanny"

:o

5. Although it *does* give a bit more edge ...

... when someone is accused of "fannying around" ...

6. So are you saying I am a fan?

cause I sure did a lot of 'fanning' around when I was younger and could ;-)

What was the thread about anyway? :shrug:

7. We're had a poll posted quite a bit:

CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll. Oct. 16-18, 2009. N=1,038 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3.

“To address the country’s energy needs, would you support or oppose action by the federal government to ?” (Half Sample)

"Increase coal mining"
Support 52, Oppose 45, Unsure 3

"Build more nuclear power plants"
Support 52, Oppose 46, Unsure 2

"Develop more solar and wind power"
Support 91, Oppose 8, Unsure 1


Which is, shall we say, less than 100% accurate and prone to having questionable conclusions drawn: See http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=115&topic_id=260908&mesg_id=260984

I wouldn't normally bother, but it's turned up in so many threads I figured it deserved one of its own.

8. Thanks for the lulz.

I read that thread and noticed the Democrats on Nuclear poll, I'd given it to him before with similar results.
