Public opinion swings back in favor of environmental protection - but Republicans still don't get it.

Asked by IchtheosaurusRex (8676points) May 28th, 2010

According to this Gallup poll, http://www.gallup.com/poll/137882/Oil-Spill-Alters-Views-Environmental-Protection.aspx, most Americans favor environmental protection over energy production, as a result of the Gulf oil rig disaster.

Most, except for Republicans, whose attitudes are unchanged. Only 30% think the environment is more important. What are they not getting? And why are they hating on Obama for not being responsive enough to the disaster?
