The last statewide Field Poll on Californians' feelings toward oil drilling was taken in October 2005. Most said they would not favor loosening restrictions to stem the tide of rising gas prices.
Fifty-six percent of surveyed registered voters said they favored keeping the restrictions; 39 percent said they didn't.
But that poll was before gas hit $4.50 a gallon. That reality - and the fact that the issue has been dormant for so long - is what worries some environmentalists.

His views on this may not be so unpopular now as it was then...we'll see come November.
Both my brother and sister-in-law have been big time dems in the Huntington Beach area now since 1980...both have stated that they are voting McCain.
Likewise here in the cheese state my parents, both in their 70's, have NEVER voted republican...both are now in the McCain camp. Seems that there is another trend that I really am SHOCKED about! These four were HARD CORE dem voters and are now voting for the GOP for president...of course they are voting dem for all the rest but hey, one step at a time I guess. LOL
Have a good one!
