ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A new poll shows New York voters evenly split on natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale region.
The
Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows
43 percent support drilling because of the economic benefits and 42
oppose it because of environmental concerns surrounding high-volume
hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. The technology frees natural gas from
shale deep underground by injecting a well with chemically treated
water and sand.
Support is stronger upstate, with 48 percent in favor of lifting the ban on fracking and 40 percent opposed.
Quinnipiac surveyed 1,127 voters between Jan. 23 and 28. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.
