Poll: Majority of voters disagree with Reid’s claim that fossil fuels ‘make us sick’

A majority of Americans disagree with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's statement that oil and coal are making this country sick, according to a poll released today by Rasmussen.

After attending the opening of the Ausra solar power manufacturing plant in Las Vegas on Monday, Reid gave an interview on the Fox Business channel about the urgency to move away from fossil fuels and toward sources of renewable energy.

While explaining about the "unseen costs" of traditional power generation, Reid said:

"Coal makes us sick. Oil makes us sick. It's global warming. It's ruining our country. It's ruining our world. We've got to stop using fossil fuels."

According to the Rasmussen poll, 52 percent of Americans surveyed disagree with Reid's feelings on coal making people sick, with only 21 percent supporting his statement. Americans feel similarly about oil making people sick, with 50 percent disagreeing with Reid and 31 percent agreeing.

When party lines are accounted for, Democrats are almost evenly split with a margin of 32 percent agreeing to 37 percent disagreeing. In contract, Republicans overwhelmingly reject Reid's views by a gap of 69 percent to 14 percent.

But it isn't all bad news for the Senate Majority Leader, as a slight majority of Americans surveyed agree with his views on global warming by a margin of 46 percent to 41 percent.
