The folks from Resurgent Republic will release new polling tomorrow on oil drilling. RR is the GOP version of Democracy Corps; Whit Ayres, Ed Gillespie, and Leslie Sanchez designed the survey. The following two messages were tested with the sample:
"Congressman A says the Gulf oil spill shows the danger and enormous environmental damage of offshore oil drilling. We should stop any new offshore wells from being developed."
