FOX News Poll: Gas Prices Major Economic Threat

There’s Plenty of finger-pointing going on. The latest FOX News Poll found out what people think about the rising prices at the pump.

FOX News Radio’s Jane Metzler has the results:

Audio clip:

We’re putting the brakes on our driving… Doing just what’s essential.

(Consumer) “Go back to work and home… food shopping.”

The latest FOX News Survey finding a majority of Americans feel rising prices at the pump pose a major threat to the economy.

(Consumer) “When it comes to going out to places you wanna go, it kind of gets cut down to a minimum.”

19% blame the big oil companies, 15% President Obama, only 8% pointing to OPEC and the Middle East as the reason for the fuel increase.

Half of those surveyed say the President could do more to bring prices down but doesn’t want to, 47% believe President Obama would like to do more but can’t.

    Federal ethanol policy increases Government motors oil use and Big oil profit.

    It is reported that today California is using Brazil sugar cane ethanol at $0.16 per gal increase over using GMO corn fuel ethanol. In this game the cars and trucks get to pay and Big oil profits are the result that may be ready for change.

    We do NOT support AB 523 or SB 1396 unless the ethanol mandate is changed to voluntary ethanol in our gas.

    Folks that pay more at the pump for less from Cars, trucks, food, water & air need better, it is time.

    The car tax of AB 118 Nunez is just a simple Big oil welfare program, AAA questioned the policy and some folks still agree.

    AB 523 & SB 1326 are just a short put (waiver) from better results.
