Energy In Depth's Shawn:

"A recent Quinnipiac University poll shows that support for oil and gas exploration continues to rise among Ohio voters.  Ohio voters now support oil and gas development by an overwhelming 67 percent, up four points from the April 19^th poll.  These numbers should come as no surprise, as Ohio has seen the tremendous benefits associated with continued development, including supporting 38,000 jobs.  This latest poll also shows that support for oil and gas development in Ohio is not a red or blue issue, but rather one that enjoys strong bipartisan support.

For the first time since Quinnipiac began polling with this question in January of 2012, a majority of Democrat leaning voters now supports continued oil and gas development in Ohio.  In the June poll, 51 percent of Democrats surveyed supported oil and gas development in Ohio, up from 43 percent in April – a gain of eight points in just three months!

June’s poll also shows growing support among independent voters, with 68 percent supporting the industry, an increase of two points from April.  In addition, females polled also showed significant growth in support of the industry, with 62 percent of women supporting development, compared to 56 percent in April. Support continues to climb regardless of age or education level, as well.

Below are the key cross-tabs for the June poll, followed by the April poll for comparison."
