Fox Polls On Gas Prices, And Gets Results It Doesn’t Like | Fox polled registered voters on whether they believe the claim President Obama purposely wants higher gas prices, and gets an answer it wouldn’t expect — Americans aren’t buying conservative spin. Fifty percent said that price spikes make President Barack Obama “unhappy” “because the American people will suffer from the high cost of filling their tank,” while only 31 percent said the prices make him “happy.” The poll also finds that 58 percent of Americans think the economy has turned around, while 52 percent said the the Obama administration’s rejection of a Keystone XL permit is not responsible for higher prices. Polls from Bloomberg and National Journal also show the public does not blame the president for gas prices, despite what Fox News wants them to think.
