Public blames high gas prices on oil industry

From Greg Sargent:

With a political war brewing over the effort by Obama and Dems to harnass public anger over gas prices to end subsidies for the oil industry, you’d think these new CNN poll numbers would be somewhat encouraging for Dems.

The CNN poll finds that a sizable majority, 61 percent, think that oil companies deserve a “great deal of blame” for rising gas prices. Twenty seven percent say oil companies deserve “some blame.”
