In his State of the Union address, President Obama said "the U.S. is as free
from the grip of foreign oil as we've been in almost 30 years." More
voters agree the country is working hard to develop its energy resources,
and more than half still believe the country can end its dependence on
foreign oil.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 30% of Likely
U.S. Voters now think the country does enough to develop its own gas and oil
resources. This is up five points from May and is the highest finding in
nearly four years. A plurality (48%) still disagrees, although this is the
lowest finding to date. Twenty-two percent (22%) are not sure.



The national survey of 800 Likely Voters was conducted on January 21-22,
2015 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 4 percentage
points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports
surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC.
