A recent poll by Public Policy Polling about the attitudes of North Carolina residents toward off the coast of NC showed a significant drop in support since the recent accident in the Gulf of Mexico. In April, before the accident, 61% of NC residents approved of drilling off the NC coast, while 26% were opposed. By May 10th, after the accident, the support dropped to 47%, with 38% opposed.
Although support has decreased, it is still surprising that even after the Gulf accident more people support off shore drilling than oppose it.
