SNY July 14 2011 Poll Release — Hydrofracking

Voters Divided on DEC’s Hydrofracking Recommendation; Majority Trust Hydrofracking Opponents
“While only a little more than one-third of downstaters have paid a great deal or some attention to the debate over
hydrofracking in the Marcellus Shale, nearly two-thirds of upstaters have been following the debate at least
somewhat,” Greenberg said. “That regional difference doesn’t, however, carry over to voters’ attitudes on the
DEC’s recommendation to allow hydrofracking, or on whether to trust hydrofracking supporters or opponents.”
Statewide, 45 percent of voters favor DEC’s recommendation and 43 percent oppose it. Upstate, 47 percent favor,
45 percent oppose; in the downstate suburbs, 47 percent favor, 40 percent oppose; and, 41 percent in New York

trust hydrofracking opponents rather than supporters, a view held by 53 percent in New York City, 54 percent in
the downstate suburbs and 55 percent upstate.
