National Omnibus Survey – Top Lines

National Omnibus Survey

Top Lines – October 20, 2023

Methodology

American Strategies and Statara designed and administered this online survey. Data were collected through a randomly selected online non-probability panel sample provided by Dynata. The survey reached 1,003 adults, age 18 or older. The survey was conducted September 26 – October 1, 2023.

Quotas were assigned to reflect the demographic distribution adults age 18 and older in the United States. The overall margin of error is +/- 3.1%. The margin of error for subgroups is larger and varies. Percentage totals may not add up precisely due to rounding.

ENERGY

Variable Name: EDLL

Question: Most fossil fuel pipelines run across privately held land. Companies pay landowners for the use of the land through something called a land lease agreement, which is a private transaction between the company and the landowner where the owner is paid for the use of his or her land. This is how most pipelines are constructed.

Does this information make you (ROTATE) more or less likely to support the construction of a fossil fuel pipeline, or does it make no difference to how you feel?
