Geo-Greens Ahead in Poll
A recent poll conducted on behalf of the nonpartisan Civil Society Institute, showed that two-thirds of participants, representing a wide socioeconomic and geographic range of Americans, said they considered driving a more fuel-efficient car to be patriotic in light of increasing U.S. dependence on Middle Eastern oil reserves.
In the survey of more than 1,000 adults, 57 percent of self-described conservatives considered the purchase of a fuel-efficient vehicle to be patriotic, with 67 percent of NASCAR racing fans concurring as well. The poll also showed that nine out of 10 Americans agreed on the importance of government action to reach a 40-mile-per-gallon fuel efficiency level for American cars, both for curbing greenhouse gas emissions and reducing dependence on foreign crude sources.
