As David Roberts notes at Grist, yet another poll reelsaed last week showed wide public support for the programs the House wants to cut. The poll by the American Lung Association found that 77% of respondents â?? including a majority of Republicans, Democrats and Independents â?? favor stricter limits on greenhouse gas pollution. The public is essentially telling Congress to leave our pollution controls alone, but it isnâ??t clear that Congress is listening.Yet another new poll, reelsaed last Wednesday by Harris Interactive, found that the American public overwhelmingly opposes cuts to pollution control programs. The poll found that Americans oppose cutting these programs by a margin of 54%-37%. ___This is what baffles me so much. All of these polls say that an overwhelming majority of Americans favor greenhouse gas limits and controls on pollution. Then why are these people voting in members of Congress that believe just the opposite? Americans are the ones voting them in! Or are the people in these polls also not voting while those that want the opposite are? Or are more elctions being stolen besides being bought than we know about, because it sure doesn't make sense to me.
