New Poll Shows 58% of PA Voters Oppose Biden’s LNG Export Ban

A new poll released by Axis Research and Pennsylvania Energy Infrastructure Alliance (PEIA) shows 58% of Pennsylvania voters disagree with Joe Biden’s infamous “pause” on approving new LNG export permits. Here’s the astounding part: 57% of poll respondents were Democrat and Independent voters! Yes, a majority of Democrats and Independents in PA disagree with old Joe. But that’s not all. After learning more about Biden’s LNG pause, 41% of those surveyed said they were less likely to vote for Biden because of his LNG pause. Joementia is in trouble in PA.

Battleground State Energy Survey Shows Americans Reject Carbon Tax

The American Energy Alliance and the Committee to Unleash Prosperity recently sponsored a survey of 1,600 likely voters equally divided among eight “battleground” states (Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Missouri, and Ohio) conducted by MWR Strategies in December 2023. The total sample margin of error is 2.45%. The survey results confirm that there has been little change in sentiment and attitudes on energy and climate change. Many of the responses in the survey are either consistent with or more emphatic than what they found in previous surveys.

Nationwide Poll Shows 88% Want Oil & Gas Produced in U.S.

Results from a new poll conducted by Morning Consult (on behalf of the American Petroleum Institute) indicate that an overwhelming majority of voters not only support the production of more American energy but also want the economic contributions of oil and natural gas to inform energy policies in the United States. Some 90 percent of voters agree that natural gas and oil play an important role in strengthening the U.S. economy. Some 88 percent of voters believe it is important to produce natural gas and oil here in the U.S. So why is Joe Biden trying to obliterate fossil energy?

Majority of New Yorkers Oppose Gov. Hochul’s NatGas Suicide Plan

With liberal leftist Democrats like NY Gov. Kathy Hochul, popular opinion only matters during an election year, when getting elected (or reelected). After that, Dems like Hochul govern any darned well way they please. It doesn’t matter if a majority of the state’s residents oppose her cockamamie, screwed-up plans to commit energy suicide by banning natural gas across the entire state. She’s moving forward full-speed ahead with her energy suicide plan anyway.

Survey: 80% of West Virginians Support Oil and NatGas Drilling

A recent survey commissioned by the Gas and Oil Association of West Virginia Inc. (GO-WV) found that 81% of West Virginians support natural gas and oil drilling in the state. That is a staggering, overwhelming majority! Nearly as many (close to 80%) favor policies that increase domestic oil and gas drilling and the completion of pipeline projects, in order to ease inflation. Some 52% of West Virginians ranked inflation as the most important issue facing the state (the top vote-getter). Although the survey results don’t mention it, we wonder how many West Virginian’s are disappointed with Sen. Manchin for his role in increasing inflation with the recent Big Green bill (aka Inflation Reduction Act) signed into law with the help of Manchin?

EQT Uses Biden Polling Firm to Confirm 73% of Voters Want More Pipes

This is a truly brilliant move on the part of Toby Rice and those who run and manage EQT Corporation–the country’s largest natural gas producer. As you likely know (if you’re a reader of MDN), Rice has become the Apostle of Natural Gas and LNG, promoting natgas as THE solution to global warming (see EQT CEO Toby Rice Unveils Nationwide Plan to “Unleash” U.S. LNG). Here’s the brilliant part. EQT recently hired a top Democrat polling firm, Impact Research (which does polling for Joe Biden), to conduct a nationwide poll of all registered voters. The poll found that an overwhelming majority of Republicans, Independents, and yes, even Democrats, believe using natural gas will help reduce global warming.

73% of Pennsylvanians Want NatGas to Remain Part of State Energy Mix

Pennsylvania is the second-largest producer of natural gas in the country. A new poll from Pittsburgh Works Together, a coalition of business and labor groups in Western PA, says Pennsylvanians want to keep PA at the top of the natural gas heap. A poll conducted of 600 PA voters in February finds 73% strongly or somewhat supported the idea that Pennsylvania should ensure that natural gas remains a part of the state’s energy use. That is an overwhelming majority of PA citizens who think natural gas (and natural gas drilling) should continue in the Keystone State.

Poll: 85% of Americans Want U.S. to Produce More Oil & Gas

Just ahead of President Joe Biden’s State of the Union speech last night, the American Petroleum Institute (API) released the results of a nationwide survey. The poll results may astonish you. Given the constant drumbeat of Democrat mainstream media that fossil fuels are almost dead and the renewable nirvana future is dawning, the survey finds a completely different take on energy by the American public–both Democrats and Republicans (and Independents). The survey says the vast majority of Americans *want* more oil and gas drilling–right here at home. And that includes a majority in the Democrat Party.

PA Statewide Poll by Antis Reveals Residents Still Like Fossil Fuels

The Ohio River Valley Institute (ORVI) is a far-left, hyper-partisan, nonprofit organization that supports liberal Democrat causes. ORVI conducted a very slanted push poll in May asking Pennsylvania residents a plethora of questions about energy. The ultimate purpose was to smear fracking and drilling for natural gas. We spotted a media story hyping some of the results of the poll stating that a “Majority of Pa. residents want fracking to end.” Far-left organization, slanted poll. What’s new, right? Except when we began to dig into the questions and answers of this slanted poll, we discovered that headline is not truthful, leaving out the real news that a majority of PA residents still support fracking.

Why is Yale U Trying to Change Name of NatGas & Who is Funding It?

Yale University operates a program it calls the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication. A better name would be the Joseph Goebbels Program for Climate Change Brainwashing. The chief propagandists at the once-great university are desperately trying to figure out how they can turn the public against clean-burning, abundant, and cheap natural gas. The problem, it seems, is with the word “natural.” In polling research, Yalies discovered if they could force you to stop using the phrase natural gas and instead force you to call it methane, you would begin to “think right” about this evil, filthy, vile substance. One thing Yale won’t tell you is this: Where they get money to conduct this kind of “research.” Could the funding be coming from China? Or Russia? Or Iran?

Guest Post: Biased vs Unbiased Polls in Fracking and Politics

New polls arrive each day now to proclaim that Donald Trump is toast and sleepy/creepy Uncle Joe Biden is going to win big. New polls arrive just about every week to announce that Americans are suspicious of shale fracking and would, in a heartbeat, dump fossil fuels. Don’t believe either the political or fracking polls so-called mainstream media releases. Why? Because the polls themselves are constructed not to determine public opinion, but to shape it. Almost all polls today are push-polls.

Fraudulent Poll Claims 72% PA Residents Support High Carbon Tax

The results of a new “push poll” aimed at brainwashing people (as opposed to an honest poll reflecting people’s actual opinions) have just been released claiming most Pennsylvania voters think a $2.36 billion tax they will pay over the next 10 years after joining the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) is just lovely.

Poll: Majority of U.S. Voters (Even Dems) Support NatGas Energy

Bad news for leftists Joe Biden and Kamala Harris: A majority of registered voters in their own party support using natural gas as an energy source, according to a new independent, national poll. No wonder both Biden AND Harris are furiously backpedaling (i.e. lying) about their views on fracking. They risk losing PA, OH, and other states where fracking is a big deal.

New Poll: Slim Majority of Pennsylvania Voters Against Frack Ban

In January MDN told you about a Franklin & Marshall College poll that showed 48% of Pennsylvania voters support a ban on fracking, while 39% oppose a ban (see Latest F&M Poll Shows 48% of PA Residents Favor Frack Ban). When you dig into the actual questions asked, it appears the poll may have been less than objective. Another poll of PA voters was released last week–this one by Muhlenberg College with questions more objective about fracking. The results show 42% of PA voters are against a frack ban while 38% would support a ban.

Parsley Energy CEO Calls for “Shale New Deal” Targeted at Teens

Matt Gallagher

Speaking yesterday at the NAPE (North American Property Expo) Summit in Houston, Parsley Energy CEO Matt Gallagher warned that the oil and gas industry MUST do a better job of convincing today’s teenagers, Generation Z, that the O&G industry is necessary and good–not evil and rotten. How? Gallagher says by tackling three issues: perception, pollution and profits. He calls this the “Shale New Deal.” Is Gallagher on to something? Maybe!

Latest F&M Poll Shows 48% of PA Residents Favor Frack Ban

A new Franklin & Marshall College (F&M) poll released today shows a befuddling result. F&M keeps tabs on a variety of political issues in the Keystone State. The latest poll’s findings on the issue of fracking raise some red flags for us. The results are mixed. The poll surveyed 628 registered voters over six days in January. It found 48% of voters support shale gas drilling in Pennsylvania, compared with 44% who oppose it. Pretty thin margin. However, 48% of those same voters favor a ban on all fracking in the state, versus 39% who oppose a ban. Can anyone say schizophrenia?
