Results of our news poll
We got 42 responses to Sunday's question:
In the face of rising fuel prices, President Clinton ordered the release of 30 million barrels of oil from the nation's emergency stockpile Friday the first time the Strategic Petroleum Reserve has been tapped other than during a war. What do you think of the decision?
7% A. It was a wise move that will help the nation avoid a home heating crisis this winter.
57% B. It was merely a political ploy to boost the chances of Vice President Al Gore in the November presidential election and will not help U.S. consumers.
24% C. It may have been politically motivated, but that's OK as long as it lowers the price of fuel.
12% D. The price of oil may drop in the short run, but government tinkering with supply and demand is unwise.
