Drilling Poll Crosstabs
I had blogged earlier about a poll showing that 64% of Hoosiers favor more drilling.
I had requested crosstabs from those that did the polling. This is what was taken as a part of the poll:
The data from the Indiana survey have not been examined for regional or ethnic differences. Here’s what I was able to gather:
Those who were more likely to support increased access –
Men - 70 percent; women - 59 percent.
Republicans - 77 percent; Independents - 57 percent; Democrats - 55 percent
Conservatives - 71 percent; Liberals - 53 percent
$50K or higher annual income more likely to strongly support - 53 percent; less than $50K income - 39 percent
It’s strange that strongly support is lower among those with less than $50K in income, rather than more. That seems counterintuitive.

Easy. The people making less than $50K are your koolaid drinking moonbats. They buy the whole Big Oil price gouging and profits are bad mantra touted by the Left. If you break it down at +/- $25K you’ll likely see a bigger anti-drilling sentiment at the sub-25K level. They want to see the United State become the next Cuba or Venezuela. They want to see nationalization - oil companies, health care, energy companies, all nationalized.
