POLL: 2 Of 3 Americans Blame Gas Price Hikes On Big Oil ‘Taking Advantage Of The Situation To Make More Money’

A new Bloomberg poll shows that two-thirds of Americans blame rising gas prices on “oil companies and Middle East nations who are taking advantage of the situation to make more money.” Meanwhile, 23 percent cited the Obama administration’s policies. The findings echo yesterday’s National Journal poll, where a combined 66 percent blamed “the manipulation of prices by large energy companies” or tensions in the Middle East, whereas 14 percent cited President Obama’s policies.
