Written by FrumForum News on Friday May 6, 2011

Politico reports:

Nine percent of Americans blame President Barack Obama and the U.S. government for this year's spike in gasoline prices, according to a new Washington Post/Pew Research Center poll.

An additional 5 percent cited "not drilling enough" as an answer to the poll's open-ended question of who or what is to blame for high prices.

By contrast, 30 percent blamed a combination of greed, profit and speculation. Nineteen percent pegged unrest in the Middle East and North Africa.
