THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN: 4PM Readers Are Willing to Pay for Russia’s Pain
Most respondents to Tuesday’s The 4PM poll support President Biden’s new ban on Russian energy imports, even if it means paying a premium at the pump.
WHAT YOU’RE SAYING
We asked: “Do you support the U.S. ban on Russian gas and oil?”
- 79% of you said: “Yes.”
- 21% of you said: “No.”
FROM THE MAILBAG
Toni wrote to us arguing against the ban, saying, “Sanctions on Russian oil will just make our gas prices go up and it won’t hurt Russia.”
- But David argued, “First, it sends a message to Putin the rest of the free world might follow. And second, maybe Biden will ease up on strangling our domestic oil production.”
