A recent poll by Colorado College shows a significant preference for public land conservation among Western voters, with 72% favoring clean air and recreation over oil drilling. Only 24% support increased oil and gas production. This 48-point margin—a record in the poll's history—indicates a strong and unified stance against oil and gas development in favor of environmental protections and outdoor recreation. The study involved 3,316 Western voters and highlighted bipartisan support across political spectra for maintaining protections on public lands.
"Westerners do not want to see a rollback of national monument protections and there is no mandate for oil and gas development. Voters from all political ideologies..."
"The consensus favoring public lands conservation remains consistent and strong in the West... The 48-point margin in favor of conservation is the highest in the poll's fifteen-year history."
