National Public Radio: A new national survey out today by the Pew Research Center shows 48 percent of Americans favor the increased use of fracking, while 38 percent are opposed.
Unsurprisingly, differences of opinion fall along partisan, gender, and regional lines.
Women are divided on the issue, with 41 percent favoring fracking and 42 percent opposed. Men support it by a 55 to 34 percent margin.
Regionally, there is more support for it in the Midwest and South and less in the West and Northeast.
