Polling Memo: Remember the Keystone Pipeline?

Fox News: 70 Percent Want Keystone Pipeline Built

Remember well over a year ago when a pipeline known as Keystone XL was proposed to transport oil from Canada to the United States and create an estimated 200,000+ American jobs?

Remember back in January 2012, when the Obama Administration rejected building it saying it would not “serve the national interest.”¹

Remember in February 2012, when voters were unhappy with the President’s decision and 67 percent said built it.

Well, today, despite bipartisan support, President Obama continues to stall and play games with our economy and American jobs.  And, while he does that, voters still stand in unison against the White House as an overwhelming seven in 10 voters seemingly scream, “Build the Keystone pipeline.”
