Sample size (N) of 400/state, weak. 5% margin of error, high due to small sample size. Source of survey: National Wildlife Foundation. Likelihood of GOP in DC giving one slice of a f#ck, 3.3%. Even within the statistical limits, this is strong evidence of public opinion against reduced regulations and increased drilling on BLM.

Only 8 states were surveyed- I’m not sure how useful this information is due to selection bias.

A data set of all 50 states would be much more compelling.

Which state legislators do you suppose have politically the largest risk?

How the predominately republican represented populace of Montana, Dakotas, Utah, and Wyoming feel about federal land is pretty relevant unless your lost on the most important things in politics. Getting re-elected and keeping legislative power.
