"Competing oil pipeline poll produce differing results"

(GRAND ISLAND INDEPENDENT) The Grand Island Independent reports "Competing polls released Tuesday produced different results on the question of whether Nebraskans support or oppose the controversial Keystone XL pipeline.

A poll commissioned by TransCanada, the Canadian company building the cross-country crude oil pipeline, indicated that 69 percent of Nebraskans surveyed either strongly support or somewhat support the project.

A poll by three environmental groups opposed to the project found that 48 percent of Nebraskans oppose the pipeline, with only 19 percent supporting it.
