GALLUP NEWS SERVICE

PRINCETON, NJ -- The latest Gallup panel survey finds the public

bracing
for continued rising gas prices this summer. A majority of poll
respondents expect gas prices to reach the $4.00 per gallon level in
their local area this summer, though only a small minority expects it

to
reach the $5.00 mark. Roughly two in three Americans say they have
already been affected financially in some meaningful way by the high

gas
prices. The public most often mentions oil company greed as the reason
for the high gas prices, though it also mentions other more practical
reasons such as problems with refineries.

Two questions:

1. If it's "oil company greed", why wasn't gas $5 after Katrina?

2. Are you proud that public opinion is being shaped using the same
media techniques ESPN has uses to demonize Barry Bonds?



Different sort of question:


1. If it's "oil company greed", why wasn't gas $5 after Katrina?


Gene already taught you that it was $5 in some areas.


2. Are you proud that public opinion is being shaped using the same
media techniques ESPN has uses to demonize Barry Bonds?



Tell me your definition of "media" first. A spokesperson who is paid a
salary by Exxon - is he "media"?
