Public supports ethanol
Registered voters by a 2-1 margin favor increased use of ethanol, a Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research and Public Opinion Strategies poll found. The poll found 59% favor increased use of ethanol in the nation's fuel supply, while 30% oppose increased use.
The poll also asked voters whom they most blame for rising food costs in the U.S. and the world. The results were:
