Despite concerns about climate change, increased domestic oil and gas production is favored by a majority of voters in key “battleground” states in this year’s presidential election.

A new telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports and the Heartland Institute finds that 63% of Likely Voters in six battleground states would support a law that would reduce gasoline and energy prices by dramatically increasing oil and gas drilling in the United States, including 44% who would Strongly Support such a law. Only 29% would oppose a law to boost U.S. oil and gas drilling. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Support for increased domestic fossil fuel production remains high even though 51% of battleground-state voters believe Earth is experiencing a dangerous level of climate change. Thirty-six percent (36%) don’t think climate change is at a dangerous level and 13% are not sure.
