Colorado voters say it’s more important to find new sources of energy than it is to reduce the energy we consume. Sixty-five percent (65%) say finding new energy should be the top priority while 27% prefer reducing our energy consumption. Nationally, voters believe McCain is more interested in finding new energy sources while Obama wants to reduce consumption. A related survey found that most voters believe members of Congress should return to Washington immediately to vote on allowing offshore oil drilling.In another finding that mirrors the national mood, 51% of Colorado voters say that media bias is a bigger problem in politics today than large campaign donors. They hold this view even though 63% believe most politicians will break the rules to help their donors. Forty percent (40%) believe McCain is too influenced by lobbyists and donors; 38% say the same about Obama.
Frustration with the media has convinced 47% of voters nationally that the government should mandate balanced political coverage on radio and television. Thirty-one percent (31%) believe these requirements should be mandated for bloggers and web sites as well. Half the nation’s voters believe that most reporters are trying to help Obama win this fall while hardly any believe reporters are trying to help McCain.
Fifty-five percent (55%) of Colorado voters currently favor the Colorado Civil Rights Initiative, which will be on the ballot in November as Amendment 46. Like similar efforts in Arizona and Nebraska, it proposes an amendment to the state constitution that would prohibit preferential treatment on the basis of race, sex or ethnicity in public hiring and contracting and in state school admissions. Nationally, voters have mixed feelings on affirmative action programs.
